From the publisher
'I relished every page ... This is the best book on Jane Austen I have ever read' Spectator 'Compelling ... a delightful and engrossing book ... Byrne's passion is nothing if not persuasive' Sunday Times Was Jane Austen a woman of prim manners and genteel calm? Or someone who behaved outrageously, filled with sharp wit and wild comedy? Looking afresh at adaptations of Austen's work - from the BBC's Pride and Prejudice to Emma Thompson's Sense and Sensibility and the wildly successful Clueless - bestselling biographer Paula Byrne presents a bold new portrait of Austen as you've never seen her before. 'A definitive and pioneering study of a wholly neglected aspect of Austen's art' Michael Caines, TLS 'Entertaining and engaging' Literary Review . . [Previously published as The Genius of Jane Austen]
