Reviews
“This well-presented book is furnished throughout with illustrations, as well as an appendix detailing Scottish theatrical adaptations. Cano’s monograph is both accessible and scholarly, making it perfect for the academic and casual reader alike.” (Forum for Modern Language Studies, Vol. 54 (2), April, 2019)
“Cano’s pioneering book breaks new ground, offering fascinating, insightful, and unique material that should prove to be of interest to the general reader as well as to specialists in the field. … Furthermore, it explores the political connotations of Austen’s works in the twentieth century and is the initial book to include a survey and consideration of Austen fans in the twenty-first century.” (Glenda Hudson, International Journal of English Studies, Vol. 17 (2), 2017)
“The book looks at different periods and movements in the 20th century that have taken quotations and themes from her novels and aspects of her life to identify with their ideals, needs and aspirations. … The book is clearly written and well organised. ... there is much to interest the general reader.” (Pamela Whalan, Sensibilities, Vol. 55, December, 2017)Authors and Affiliations
