Aristotle and Austen? This sensitive and sometimes humorous analysis argues that Austen's thought was grounded in a broad political and philosophical context, that she valued intelligence and virtue as hand-in-hand and necessary for happiness. Virtue counts more than manners, as we see again and again in her heroes (think of Mr Darcy and Mr Knightley). Heavily bumped corner, otherwise like new. This bumped corner means a great deal for those who want to add this book to their personal library. Scarce. 202 pgs. Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc. Maryland. 1995. Paper. USED. $45.00
