Announcing An A-Z Guide to Jane Austen's World

Coming on September 11, 2026 with Johns Hopkins UP.

An A–Z Guide to Jane Austen's World features 26 carefully chosen words in order to illuminate the social customs, material culture, language, and historical forces shaping Jane Austen's fiction and life. The book is beautifully illustrated throughout by my talented colleague Harriet Wu (who also illustrated Jane Austen's Desk). A recurring theme is Austen's response to the rapidly changing age in which she lived, as well as her own revolutionary approach to her genre of choice, the novel.

Available for preorder now on Amazon and elsewhere. See my website for discounts.
