Edgar and Emma: A Novel After Jane Austen

Edgar and Emma: A Novel After Jane Austen

As a teenager, Jane Austen wrote â€œEdgar and Emmaâ€â€”a withering satire on sentimental novels running four uproarious pages. Now Robert Rodi has taken the brief text of this early story and expanded it into a full-length novel in the mature Austen style. Here youâ€™ll find all the hallmarks of Austenâ€™s immortal masterworks: a witty heroine, a hesitant hero, a romantic rival, a charismatic cad, several indefatigable talkers, a shattering crisis, shocking secrets revealed, and moments of the highest hilarity. Youâ€™ll also find some character types new to the extended Austensphere, including a firebrand preacher, a pair of ardent dog lovers, and a sardonic Oxford don. Itâ€™s a brilliantly witty homage to a beloved novelistâ€™s oeuvre, by the acclaimed author of "Bitch In a Bonnet: Reclaiming Jane Austen from the Stiff, the Simps, the Snobs and the Saps."
