An examination of the use of language in Austen's novels, to illucidate the morals and meanings she intends to convey. Do we become accustomed to her meaningful use of certain words through repeat reading of her works, and do we then assign more moral value to them? A sophisticated and thought-provoking analysis. Basil Blackwell, Oxford. Slight tears and sun-fading of jacket. otherwise VG. USED. $20.00
