‘The huge literature written by women of Jane Austen’s period has been the subject of a grand rediscovery in recent decades. This wonderful and scholarly book shows us with lively examples how women in the age of Jane Austen were allowed to perceive themselves and how four great women writers responded creatively and spiritually, through their use of the visual imagination in their writing. I read it with huge pleasure’.
