More scholarly than Quin's book on JA and London, this fascinating study takes us to Paris and Geneva where Austen's work was published in translation soon after its English debut. Quin also explains the world in which these novels were launched, French women writers of the time, the background of the French Revolution, religious and political issues that affected Austen's reception. With beautiful maps by Veronique Yapp, so you can visit sites mentioned in the text on your walking tours. Box-stitched with red ribbon marker. Scarce/rare in Hardcover with jacket. 2005. USED. $120.00
