"This is an interesting, often witty, and absolutely informative book. What makes the revisiting of Austen a box office commercial phenomenon—witness Clueless and Bridget Jones's Diary—is our postmodern climate, what the editors call 'present cultural concerns.' We already live within a type of reality Austen has constructed, and our remodeling of that reality in the present at once displays varieties of clashes, lacunae, significations, parodies, and dilemmas." — Joseph Natoli, author of Postmodern Journeys: Film and Culture 1996-1998
