Marriage book cover

Reviews of Jane Austen and Marriage:

'In Jane Austen and Marriage, Hazel Jones presents an institution in transition, riven with
contradictions and complexities. Jones's ample use of archival and manuscript sources
provide illuminating and amusing insights that complement Austen's own, in her letters to
her sister Cassandra.'
Elizabeth Scott Baumann, Times Literary Supplement

'This book is not just a commentary on Jane Austen's novels but an examination of the society
from which they sprang. What we look for therefore is that quotations and examples represent
a good balance between Jane Austen's fiction; the real life of her family and neighbours; and
the experiences of her contemporaries at large. This Hazel Jones has undoubtedly achieved.'
Maggie Lane, Jane Austen Society News Letter

'With the eye of a storyteller, Jones blends dry facts with illustrative examples. It is an
entertaining and informative addition to an Austen library.'
Marsha Huff, Jane Austen Society North America News

'... a highly readable and amusing portrait of the state of courtship and matrimony in Austen's
time . . . a terrific addition to any Austen-centric bookshelf.'
Susanne Kuntz, Jane Austen Society Australia 'Sensibilities'

'Wonderfully readable and often hilariously funny ... Jones has come up with a host of fresh ideas
and new insights presented with a deep sympathy for, and understanding of, her subject ...
Jane Austen & Marriage reads as easily and entertainingly as a novel, full of plot twists and
delightful surprises - a treasure of a book to be returned to again and again.'
Jane Austen's Regency World

'...illustrated with affectionate close readings of the novels. [Jones] makes good use of Austen's
letters and juvenilia, conduct books, and periodicals.'
The Year's Work in English Studies, Volume 90
