Reviews

Tave's book is one critical study of her novels which Jane Austen could have read with nothing but pleasure, so accurately and subtly does he probe the profound meaning of her art. Tave's work is, very probably, the best interpretation of Austen's meaning ever written; certainly it will be, henceforth, the achievement against which all other such inquiries will have to be measured. . . . The old is made fresh, and the new, familiar, as Tave continually produces, by virtue of his masterful grasp of the Austen canon, new ore from what one might have supposed to be exhausted veins. --Walter E. Anderson Nineteenth-Century Fiction Wise and important. . . . Looking again at what [Tave] modestly calls 'some words of Jane Austen' produces findings of sterling value. --Andrew Wright Yearbook of English Studies
