Dust jacket excerpt, In this book Jane Austen emerges from behind the assumptions of a hundred years and takes her true place among the greatest masters of irony. Instead of gentle Jane, she is shown to be a writer uncomfortably acute and irreverent, resisting society by exposing it in all its incongruities and delusions, through novels often admired for qualities which they actually subvert or ignore.
