What Matters in Jane Austen?: Twenty Crucial Puzzles Solved (45 page)

This book is dedicated to the memory of Tony Tanner, whose Penguin introductions to Jane Austen’s novels first showed me how exciting they were. He later became my teacher at university and then a colleague; I hope that this book preserves some memories of the many conversations about Jane Austen that we had over the years.
