James Collins, the New Jane Austennew
Beginner's Greek is a romantic comedy, and as such it rewards virtue and punishes evil, ultimately smiling on Peter and providing this transcendent good guy with a tidy resolution that is satisfying, if not entirely surprising.

All 'Greek' to Younew
Collins' dry wit is explained by his influences, Anthony Trollope and Evelyn Waugh. He is sometimes compared to Jane Austen, with whom he shares insight into the mating rituals of the upper class.
