Have you ever wondered what the difference is between a phaeton and a curricle? Or, why it even matters? Enter Jane Austen for Dummies by Joan Klingel Ray, PhD, the President of The Jane Austen Society of North America. Her smart work explores the politics and traditions of Jane Austen's day. Here are some of the chapters:
- Introducing Jane Austen
- Practicing the Politics of Dancing
- Experiencing Life at Home in Austen's Day
- Reading Jane Austen
- Ten Best Austen Places to Visit.
I really enjoyed reading this book and found it useful for understanding Austen's characters - context is everything.
