About the book

Jane Austen's private language is rarely studied, yet her letters are a linguistic goldmine. This sociolinguistic study analyses the grammar, spelling, and vocabulary of Jane Austen's letters - many of which were addressed to her sister, Cassandra - providing readers with a deeper understanding of Austen as an author.
