First published in 1924, this title provides a valuable early 20th century perspective on Jane Austen, offering analysis from both sides of the channel. The book includes both a translated study of Jane Austen by French academic Leonie Villard, and a study by influential biographer and critic, R. Brimley Johnson. Leonie Villard's ambitious work analyses a variety of topics relating to Austen's work, including women and marriage, psychology, satire, the gentry and the lasting value and scope of the novels. All in all, a very engaging, informative and insightful reissue."
