Wells's meticulously researched and beautifully written book introduces a fascinating group of individuals whose contributions to Austen studies have long been obscure. After reading this book, I came to care as much about Alberta Burke and Oscar Fay Adams as I do about many of Austen's characters. -- Professor Jennie Batchelor, University of Kent, UK An insightful, illuminating and meticulously researched book. Wells animates her subjects with skill, energy and affection in a study that significantly deepens our understanding of early Austen experts and enthusiasts and their contribution to the field. * Lizzie Dunford, Director, Jane Austen's House, UK * Author InformationJuliette Wells, Professor of Literary Studies at Goucher College (USA), is the author of two acclaimed books about Jane Austen’s historic readers and fans: Reading Austen in America (2017) and Everybody’s Jane: Austen in the Popular Imagination (2011).
