Six novels, and almost all of the important business happens in a drawing room. Helm reads Austen as a comic dramatist working a very small stage: the house parties, the entails, the visits, the marriages arranged in the space between two remarks. A study of how the tightest social box in English fiction produced the sharpest comedy in it.
