Description

On the Sofa with Jane Austen is a collection of essays that first appeared in the Regency World magazine. They celebrate the quirkiest corners and cleverest contrivances of Jane Austen's art. The twenty-one topics range from coiffure to crime, from gossip to grandmothers. The title comes from the first essay, but it is also an invitation to spend time with a well-loved author in a relaxed and intimate way. The essays are: On the Sofa; The Hair was Curled; Lady Bertram's Fringe; A Very White World; The Silence of Mr Perry; Plump Cheeks and Thick Ankles; Reading Aloud; Arms and Legs Enough; November in the Novels; Words Overheard; Home Comforts; Shoelaces and Shawls; The Freshest Green; Neighbourhood Spies; She is Pretty Enough; Small World; Devoted Sisters; Theft and Punishment; Heroes and Husbands; Only a Grandmother and finally, Dear Mary. This will be of interest to all Jane Austen enthusiasts, especially undergraduates and those studying English Literature at A-level, as well as History and Economics. Read more

Top Amazon Reviews


  • Thought-provoking read
Format: Kindle
The author has carefully analyzed different parts of Austen’s novels, and she presents her opinions in a particularly readable way. This could have been a very dry read.

  • Addition to my Jane Austen Library
Format: Hardcover
Fun to read -I enjoyed it!

  • Fun to read
Format: Kindle
Fun to read, short chapters written as stand-alone essays, each dealing with a different aspect of Jane Austen's novels. I enjoyed revisiting her books, some of which I haven't read in quite a while, and learning details about the commonplace practices of the time.

  • Probably for true fans only.
Format: Hardcover
Fun book of essays, each on a different topic as related to Jane Austen's novels. I enjoyed it a lot, but I probably wouldn't recommend it to anybody other than fellow true Austen fans. Others might find it a little too focused.
