Jane Austen and the State of the Nation explores Jane Austen's references to politics and to political economics and concludes that Austen was a liberal Tory who remained consistent in her political agenda throughout her career as a novelist.

"Jane Austen and the State of the Nation will be of great interest to scholars and students alike for its admirable, deep delving into the domestic economic and English political world in which Austen and her fiction were so obviously immersed."
