Samenvatting

The first book about Jane Austen to dissect the industry around her - a completely original approach to one of Britain's most enduring popular novelists



'Fascinating' Evening Standard
'Witty' Daily Telegraph
'Exhilarating' Literary Review
'Wonderful' Daily Mail

Part biography and part cultural history, this splendid book not only tells the captivating tale of Jane Austen's life, but also her literary legacy. The slow growth of Austen's fame and the changing status of her work and what it stands for in English culture is a story of personal struggle and family dynamics as well as a history of critical practices and public taste. Jane's Fame is essential reading for anyone interested in Austen's life, works and unshakable appeal.

'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.'
Paula Byrne, Sunday Telegraph

'An extraordinary book, crammed with scholarship and glittering with trivia . . . A fantastic compendium of
absolutely everything relating to Austen.'
Elspeth Barker, Independent on Sunday
