Note "Biographers have long acknowledged the importance of music in Jane Austen's life and now ... her admirers will be able to enjoy a selection from the more than 200 songs which survive in her collections.... Not only do the songs offer insights into Jane Austen's world and the delights thereof, but they also help to revive interest in the unjustifiably neglected repertoire of the late Georgian period."--Container.
