From School Library Journal:

Grade 10 Up–Distinguished critics examine aspects of Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Persuasion, and Sense and Sensibility. Themes explored include manners and morals, comic aggression, knowledge and opinion, gender roles, and the relationship of Austen's novels to William Shakespeare's plays. Essays discuss specifics of the novels and place them within the context of Austen's other works. Characters are examined in depth, as are situations, feelings, and social context. Quotes from the books are used to support interpretations. B. C. Southam's Critical Essays on Jane Austen(Routlege, 1968; o.p.), Ian Watt's Jane Austen(Wiley, 1963), and Clarice Swisher's Readings on Pride and Prejudice (Greenhaven, 1998) are similar in scope. Bloom's well-documented title will help students develop a better understanding of Austen's works.–Nicole M. Marcuccilli, Glenview Public Library, IL
