Jane Austen’s Emma: A Close Reading Companion, Volume I
Jane Austen’s Emma: A Close Reading Companion is a chapter-by-chapter analysis of one of literature’s first great novels. Morefield combines an academic’s breadth of knowledge with a fan’s enthusiasm to craft a reading companion that will help illuminate the novel regardless of whether the reader is approaching Austen’s work for the first time or the twentieth.
Deliberately crafted with the student in mind, this title offers lucid, specific, and often surprising interpretations of key passages in each of the first eighteen chapters of Emma. Subsequent volumes will complete the comprehensive close reading.
