Long out of print and scarce. Focuses on Austen's feminist themes, emphasizing her iconoclastic laughter. Chapter titles include "Carnival and Austen's Feminism," ""Northanger Abbey": Catherine, or the Strength of the Ordinary, ""Pride and Prejudice": Elizabeth, or Merry War," and ""Emma": Gender, Class, and Carnivalesque Discourse." Spine slightly faded, some pencil underlining. Otherwise very good.  NY: 1994. 241 pages. Hb. USED. $20.00
