- Filmography.
- Nineteenth-Century Reviews
- Chronology
- Further Reading
- What Austen Ate
- How to Prepare Tea
- Austen Sites to Visit in England
- Behaving Yourself: Etiquette and Dancing in Austen’s Day
- Illustrations of Fashion, Home Decor, Architecture, and Transportation
- Explanatory Notes
Which really does add a lot to the book. |
Only if it is of interest... I read fiction to read the content of the book - the rest is unnecessary fluff that I never look at, just like all the "wonderful" DVD extras... Mostly never looked at or very occasionally, once - I want the film... and all these great add-ons provide an equally great excuse to add on to the price...
