Those elegant decorums (Open Library)

Those elegant decorums
the concept of propriety in Jane Austen's novels.
by Jane Nardin
Published in 1973, State University of New York Press (Albany)

This book was awesome! I recommend it highly to any fan of Austen's novels. Unlike the previous treatise on her novels that I read, the language in this was perfectly accessible to me, a non-academic.

Weirdly and unexpectedly, it gave me some insight into some of my previous love relationships.
