This is not quite what I expected.
I imagined it would be a study of how Austen has been used in theatre and film. This was covered but only in the very last chapter.
The majority seemed to be about how plays and theatre had influenced Austen and I wasn't quite looking for that so did not find it quite as enjoyable as expected.
