'... in each of her chapters on the formal features of Austen's style, Toner demonstrates how the effort of writing small worked to inspire some of Austen's biggest ideas and thus to shape nineteenth-century fiction.' Megan Quinn, www.review19.org

'... in each of her chapters on the formal features of Austen's style, Toner demonstrates how the effort of writing small worked to inspire some of Austen's biggest ideas and thus to shape nineteenth-century fiction.' Megan Quinn, www.review19.org 'This telescoping is well represented in discussion of Mansfield Park and of free direct discourse ... the notes, bibliography, and index are extensive and provide welcome entry into the critical discussion around Austen studies and the 18th-century novel ... Highly recommended.' R. Shapiro, Choice 'Explicating the very long history of critical reception of Austen's exemplary, modern economy of style - its concision of plot for character, for example - Toner under-takes a detailed and thorough grammatical investigation of how exactly Austen achieves her feted economy, and to what ends.' Kate Singer, The Wordsworth Circle
