For many years, scholars that have studied Jane Austen have made emphasis on her quality as both a novelist and a moralist. Gene Koppel brings something more to the discussion. Koppel wants to present the religious aspects of the novels of Jane Austen. The author believes that even when there is not much explicit reference to religion in Jane Austen's novels, the values that are presented in many of her characters are a result of Jane Austen's religious beliefs. Koppel defends his point of view using different sources. In the second part of the book the author analizes Sense and Sensibility, Emma and Pride and Prejudice using a traditional religious interpretation based on Jane Austen's own Anglican beliefs. However, Koppel's discusion is mostly based on the latter novels, with focus on topics like the role of contingency in Mansfield Park and the question of the self and its fulfillment in Persuasion. Koppel expresses his arguments with an articulate and systematic line of thought. The book is a great opportunity to analize Jane Austen in a more profound light, in contrast with some other more frivoulous approaches to the work of the great novelist.
