| Abstract
|
:
|
This lucid and tightly-argued study uses the motif of the mentor-lover - embodying diverse permutations of sexual love, power and judgement - to explore, evaluate and compare the works of Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte and George Eliot as they contend with issues of sexuality, family, selfhood, freedom, conduct and gender.
