This is an impressive and comprehensive resource which would certainly be very useful to both students and teachers, especially anyone teaching the text of Austen for the first time. The level of detail and reference to the text is most helpful. There is a good variety of activities, which would be a help in such a long novel, and the students are encouraged to think for themselves.
