  • ""Wonderful . . . not only scholarly but indecently entertaining . . . her prose rings with good sense, affection, and humour."'Daily Mail Mention Jane Austen and you'll likely incite a slew of fervent opinions from anyone within earshot. Regarded as a brilliant social satirist by scholars, Austen also enjoys the sort of popular affection usually reserved for girl-next-door movie stars, leading to the paradox of an academically revered author who has served as the inspiration for chick lit (The Jane Austen Book Club) and modern blockbusters (Becoming Jane). Almost two hundred years after her death, Austen remains a hot topic, and the current flare in the cultural zeitgeist echoes the continuous revival of her works, from the time of original publication through the twentieth century. In Jane's Fame, Claire Harman gives us the complete biography'of both the author and her lasting cultural influence'making this essential reading for anyone interested in Austen's life, works, and remarkably potent fame."@en
  • "Starting with Austen's early writing experience, Harman explores the swell of interest in Austen in the last decades of the nineteenth century, her emergence as a classic author in the twentieth century, the critical wars that erupted as a result and, her powerful influence on contemporary chick-lit, romantic comedy, the heritage industry and film."@en
  • "Korte biografie van de Engelse schrijfster (1775-1817), gevolgd door het verloop van de populariteit van haar literaire nalatenschap."
  • "Part biography and part cultural history, this book narrates Jane Austen's personal struggle with the literary criticism as well as the change of public taste in English literature."@en
  • "Award-winning biographer Claire Harman traces the growth of Jane Austen's fame, the changing status of her work and what it has stood for - or has been made to stand for in English culture - in a wide-ranging study aimed at the general reader. This is a story of personal struggle, family intrigue, accident, advocacy and sometimes surprising neglect as well as a history of changing public tastes and critical practices."
