Reviews

I found this monograph to be very accessible, well-structured, informative and pleasant to read. The book very convincingly describes Austen's writing practices and her social network, but perhaps most importantly, her own language use... the book is accessible and would be of interest to students and scholars of not only historical sociolinguistics, but also lexicography, corpus linguistics and the disciplines of history and English literature. Because the book is structured so that each chapter follows the other logically and smoothly with clear definitions and a pleasant writing style, the book is accessible to scholars of many disciplines and approaches. --inguist List

The resultant book is explicit in terms of methodology, nuanced in its interpretation of findings, and written in a clear and authoritative style. --Women's Writing
