Overview
Argues that there are recurrent spatiotemporal patterns and structures in all six of Austen’s major novels which constitute a source of enduring, if unconscious pleasure
Uncovers hitherto unnoticed features, such as, the fact that Mr. Woodhouse (Emma) stirs from home only twice during the narrative, on Christmas Eve and on Midsummer Eve, thus exhibiting a regular, if very slow rhythm of ‘every solstice'
Draws on a broad range of Austen's work
