'Jane's Fame is an exhilarating look at the rise of the Divine Jane's worldwide influence. Harman charts its course with wit and style, as well as scholarly precision, making this a book that no Austen addict will want to resist.'
Mark Bostridge, Literary Review
'Splendid . . . there is no doubt that Harman is the first to treat this fascinating subject in an accessible, lively manner unshackle by academic jargon. There is much to enjoy in this book . . . it's the quality of the insights and the interpretations that make this book such a good read.'

absolutely everything relating to Austen.'
