Searching for Jane Austen demolishes with wit and vivacity the often-held view of "Jane," a decorous maiden aunt writing her small drawing-room stories of teas and balls. Emily Auerbach presents a different Jane Austena brilliant writer who, despite the obstacles facing women of her time, worked seriously on improving her craft and became one of the worlds greatest novelists, a master of wit, irony, and character development.
