Jan Fergus's work examines Jane Austen's early novels, specifically Northanger Abbey, Sense and Sensibility, and Pride and Prejudice. The book argues that these novels are significant for understanding Austen's achievements, as they openly display their themes and draw from eighteenth-century literary models. Fergus contends that Austen's approach to emotional didacticism and her rejection of perfect characters set her apart from her predecessors, allowing her to educate readers' judgments and sympathies effectively.
