With introduction by Barbara Brothers. Odom looks at Austen's works and influences together, rooting her firmly in her time and yet showing us that she was indeed the first 19th century novelist, the first modern novelist, as she synthesized Richardson and Fielding and the disparate modes of thinking they represented. Shows how she broke with more than literary tradition in her treatment of her heroines and heroes. Not available, not in print. Like new. Arlington Liberal Arts Press, 1991. Paper. Like new.
