1961 Jane Austen and Her Art by Mary Lascelles - Vintage Book

In excellent condition, here is a vintage hardback copy of Jane Austen and Her Art. Published in 1961 by Oxford University Press, London. In the original dust jacket

A refined and influential early study of Jane Austen’s craft and one of the foundational works of 20th‑century Austen criticism. Lascelles’ book offers a thoughtful, elegantly argued examination of Austen’s narrative technique, character construction, use of irony, and the social worlds that shape her fiction.

Contents: Biography; Reading and Response; Style; Narrative Art.

Inside the pages are clean, bright and tightly bound. Has an inked name and date at the top of the front free endpaper, but no other writing or markings of previous ownership. Mild spotting to outside page edges.

In the original unclipped dust jacket. Also very smart. Mildly tanned on the spine, with a couple of small spots and a few nicks to the edges. All minor and otherwise in top order.

Your vintage copy of Jane Austen and Her Art will be wrapped with care in tissue and ribbon* and sent well packaged. I am always happy to include a gift card with a message in the parcel if desired.
