Title: JANE AUSTEN'S TEXTUAL LIVES: FROM AESCHYLUS TO BOLLYWOOD
Description: "Through three intertwined histories, Jane Austen's Textual Lives offers a new way of approaching and reading a very familiar author. One is a history of the transmission and transformation of Jane Austen through manuscripts, critical editions, biographies, and adaptations; a second provides a conspectus of the development of English Studies as a discipline in which the original and primary place of textual criticism is recovered; and a third reviews the role of Oxford University Press in shaping a canon of English texts in the twentieth century. Jane Austen can be discovered in all three."--Jacket.
