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.

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.
