At play in the fields of Austenland

Flirting with Pride and Prejudice, Jennifer Crusie (ed.)

Part literary criticism, part fluff, part fanfic, this is a highly multi-disciplinary approach to one of Jane Austen’s well-beloved, and perhaps most well-known of her novels, Pride and Prejudice.

The widely varied pieces collected here range from ruminations on why Austen remains so popular, to considerations of the influence of the Napoleonic wars on Austen’s writing, to examinations of the films based on the novel, to original short fiction inspired by the characters and situations created by Austen in the novel. In short, something for almost everyone who loves Pride and Prejudice. This is nothing less than a celebration of Austen’s work, by people who are devoted to it and want nothing more than to share their own delight with other Austen fans.
