Available Copies Details Synopsis
Before Jane Austen, William Deresiewicz was a very different young man. A sullen and arrogant graduate student, he never thought Austen would have anything to offer him. Then he read Emma�and everything changed. In this unique and lyrical book, Deresiewicz weaves the misadventures of Austen�s characters with his own youthful follies, demonstrating the power of the great novelist�s teachings�and how, for Austen, growing up and making mistakes are one and the same. Honest, erudite, and deeply moving, A Jane Austen Education is the story of one man�s discovery of the world outside himself.
