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
