Hawkridge also studies the different types of romantic leads that JA created, and considers their relationship to people she knew, although she does begin the book by quoting JA's famous statement that she likes her male characters to well to associate them with a mere mortal.
For people interested in the topic, this is the obvious place to start. Hawkridge has numerous notes and a select bibliography leading the reader to other sources to be explored at length.
I have great praise for the inclusion of of a chronology, would that more historical writers did that, as well as an extremely informative family tree, a bibliography and an index. I give a thumbs down on the notes. In the time-honored and idiotic fashion, the notes are in sections headed simply by the number of the chapter, while the pages have only the chapter title as a running title. Tracking down a note either means keepng track of the chapter that one is reader (a trick that I have never mastered) or flipping to the front of the chapter to find the number. ( )
