Morris uses ridiculous Mr Collins as the gateway to understanding Austen's world and the mercenary motivations of all her characters, in all her novels, as they maneuver in a materialistic, layered society. Light signs of wear may include slight sun discoloration, small creases to jacket, slight foxing to page tops. Otherwise very good, tight spine, clean pages, almost like new. Routledge & Kegan Paul. 1987. Hb, Dj. USED. $30.00
