Jane Austen and the Theatre Book
Jane Austen was fascinated by theatre from her childhood, but the myth remains that she was anti-theatrical. Contemporary film and television have shown how naturally dramatic her stories are. Penny Gay's book describes for the first time the rich theatrical context of Austen's writing, and the intersections between her novels and contemporary drama.

She demonstrates the complexity of Austen's analysis of the pervasive theatricality of her society.Read More
