This work views Jane Austen historically as a Regency writer voicing concerns on the condition of England. It examines Austen's literary works and letters in the context of those of other Regency women, as well as considering contemporary texts such as television adaptations of her work. It also looks at her representations of dandyism and masculine identities, the events of the Regency crisis of 1810-12, and the way in which Austen engaged in topical debates such as health care in both "Emma" and "Persuasion".
