Status Updates From A Preface to Jane Austen

Finished Gillie's "Preface To Austen" , and.am now reading "Mansfield Park". I am struck by how much clearer my understanding of Jane Austen' writing is because of Gillie,s book. If you want to fully understand Austen, Gillie's book is for you.

Really a good book. Might be thought a little dry by some, but after reading several of Austen's novels , I think Gillie explains how Austen used her literary background and personal views to write her books. Worthwhile for anyone who wants to read and study Jane Austen.
