Reviews for Jane Austen and Discourses of Feminism
'Including essays by some of the most stimulating specialists in the novel and the 'new' literary period, 1770-1830, this provocative, sometimes daring, collection will quickly become required reading for all engaged with applications of feminist theories, with women in the literary marketplace, and, of course, with Jane Austen.'
