Omschrijving
An iconoclastic re-evaluation of one English Literature’s most celebrated novelists.
What this radical re-reading ... does so brilliantly is to exhort us all to chuck out the chintz, and the teacups, and all the traditional romantic notions about Austen's work that have been fed to us for so long ... However well you think you know the novels, you'll be raring to read them again once you've read this.
A sublime piece of literary detective work that shows us once and for all how to be precisely the sort of reader that Austen deserves.
An addictive debut
You'll definitely see Austen's works differently from now on
A thoroughly engaging read.
Thoroughly impressive and convincing
It encapsulates smartly much that a frequently chintzy Austen industry would prefer to overlook.
Jane Austen: the Secret Radical is wonderful; a revelation. It's difficult to stand out from the crowd when writing about such an influential figure, but Helena Kelly has certainly achieved that with this smart, knowing, perceptive book.
Helena Kelly holds degrees in Classics and English from Oxford and King's College London. She teaches Austen at an Oxford summer school, and for a programme for American visiting students in Bath. She has taught Austen to hundreds of people, of all ages, nationalities, and backgrounds. Jane Austen, The Secret Radical is her first book.
