“It is his vegetable ambition never to stir.”
Margaret Doody, Jane Austen's Names: Riddles, Persons, Places

Pride and Prejudice is realistic, questioning, and sometimes flippant, even cynical--but Arcadia is always just about to happen. Some very tough truths are told in this novel in which everyone goes wrong, but our hearts are light as we read because we are never far from the land of green promise.”
Margaret Doody, Jane Austen's Names: Riddles, Persons, Places

“We are all—even young lovers—affected by our own struggle for survival and by our world's assumptions regarding what is correct and successful. Not one of us, not even a heroine, escapes the constraint.”
Margaret Doody, Jane Austen's Names: Riddles, Persons, Places
