1970 Jane Austen's English by KC Phillipps / Andre Deutsch, London / Analysis of Austen's Language / In Good Condition

In good condition here is an academic, yet readable look at Jane Austen's English. By KC Phillipps. Being a first edition published in 1970 by Andre Deutsch, London. With the original dust wrapper which reads:

"No admirer of Jane Austen can fail to appreciate and enjoy the wit and wisdom of this brief study of her language. It is astounding how far the speech of educated conversation has travelled during the last century and a half. Some of the changes noted by the author of this book are indeed so subtle that they might elude the attention of even the most observant reader. And yet they are significant. When reminded of them, the reader is led to esteem Jane Austen more than ever before as a writer and novelist and observer of the human scene."

If you’re interested in how Austen’s language contributes to her narrative voice and social commentary, this book offers a scholarly yet readable lens.

Inside the pages are clean and tightly bound. With spotting to the outside closed edges (see photos).

The dust wrapper has been price-clipped, otherwise excellent condition.
