'I relished every page ... This is the best book on Jane Austen I have ever read'Spectator

'Compelling ... a delightful and engrossing book ... Byrne's passion is nothing if not persuasive'Sunday Times

Was Jane Austen a woman of prim manners and genteel calm? Or someone who behaved outrageously, filled with sharp wit and wild comedy?

Looking afresh at adaptations of Austen's work - from the BBC's Pride and Prejudice to Emma Thompson's Sense and Sensibility and the wildly successful Clueless- bestselling biographer Paula Byrne presents a bold new portrait of Austen as you've never seen her before.

'A definitive and pioneering study of a wholly neglected aspect of Austen's art'Michael Caines, TLS
