Willoughby (Sense and Sensibility) drives a curricle not a gig - what does this say about him? Captain Wentworth (Persuasion) and Fanny's brother William (Mansfield Park) follow the 'King's
Service' at sea - what sort of life did they find there? Lady Catherine de Bourgh (Pride and Prejudice) is called Lady Catherine, not Lady de Bourgh - what does this very important distinction
signify? Abridged from the critically acclaimed IAll Things Austen (Greenwood, 2005), this similarly formatted encyclopedia takes readers from the works of Jane Austen into her universe. More
than 70 alphabetically arranged entries provide rich and fascinating historical details on the form and function of everyday and obscure objects that are mentioned in her novels. A selection of
illustrations accompany the lively and often humorous entries that bring her fiction to life.
