Reviews
"The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Jane Austen performs an admirable service for readers--and particularly scholars - of Austen. It is a service that will no doubt last for generations to come." -Devoney Looser, University of Missouri, Editionen in der Kritik, "In what is probably the most venturesome and rewarding volume in the splendid "Cambridge Edition of the Works of Jane Austen, Todd and Bree present scrupulously re-edited texts of Lady Susan, The Watsons, and Sandition, along with line-by-line transcriptions of the manuscripts of the last two, which allow readers to appreciate Austen's habits of revision. They also present Austen's letters and brief essays on fiction, and texts of her 18 poems and the late charades...[The editors] have provided both the best introduction to these later works of Austen and the most satisfying reading-texts of them to date." --Choice, "The Cambridge Edition of the Works of Jane Austen performs an admirable service for readers--and particularly scholars - of Austen. It is a service that will no doubt last for generations to come." -Devoney Looser, University of Missouri, Editionen in der Kritik"
