"Returning author Devoney Looser has written a study of Jane Austen's legacy in high
and popular culture, looking at stage and film adaptations of her work, how Austen
has been taught in classrooms, Austen's depiction in visual culture, and Austen's
role in the women's suffragist movement. Looser draws on popular print and unpublished
archival sources, amassing evidence from high, middlebrow, and popular culture, in
order to craft a more capacious history of posthumous reception. The book is a detailed
and revealing account of what Looser calls the "public dimension" of Jane Austen,
who is a "manufactured creation." Looser has dug deep and come up with brand-new material
on Austen, something that is very hard to do. This is the kind of material that Janeites
and Austen scholars live for"
