Abstract
The Afterword synopsizes the virtues of the volume, emphasizing the benefits of a comparative method and the adaptive utility of placing Austen and Shakespeare in historical dialogue. It closes with reflections on the exhibition, ‘Will & Jane: Shakespeare, Austen and the Cult of Celebrity’, so as to anticipate the ways in which a comparative critical model might develop in the future.
