Dr. Theresa Kenney’s Last Impressions: Jane Austen’s Endings explores the wisdom and artistry of Austen’s conclusions, often misunderstood in film and popular readings. The book is the fruit of decades of teaching Austen at UDallas, where student enthusiasm never wanes and alumni have gone on to publish
essays and books sparked by her classes. “Once you learn to read from Austen,” Kenney says, “almost everything else seems easy.”
