"In this comprehensive study of Jane Smiley's fiction, Neil Nakadate offers insight into the strikingly imaginative and intellectual range of a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer best known for A Thousand Acres. He provides close readings - from the early Barn Blind to The All-True Travels and Adventures of Lidie Newton - and presents the first extended account of the connections between her life and her work." "Drawing on the critical record, previously unpublished interviews with the novelist, and Smiley's own prolific commentary on literature, writing, and American culture, Nakadate examines her intellectual interests, social and philosophical concerns, and penchant for taking up different creative challenges with successive books. He traces the ongoing themes of her work, including those of family, environmental integrity, social institutions, economic and political dynamics, and the efforts of women to recover their identities in an often harsh and unreceptive world. Nakadate finds that Smiley's work has been influenced by her attention to the issues and interactions of family life but also owes much to a critical intelligence that ranges adventurously across topics and disciplines."--Jacket.

Tijdens haar leven werden er maar vier van haar boeken uitgegeven, en dan nog anoniem. Maar ondanks de tegenslagen bij de pogingen om haar werk gepubliceerd te krijgen heeft de Engelse schrijfster Jane Austen (1775-1815) postuum wereldfaam weten te verwerven. Het Nederlandstalige publiek kan alvast nog wat informatie over leven en werk van Jane Austen verdragen. Deze uit het Engels vertaalde biografie is immers de eerste biografie van Jane Austen die in ons taalgebied beschikbaar is.
