I know my comment comes 2 years after yours, but I wanted to add my agreement! I have the Shapard annotated versions of five of Austen's books and love them! He provides just the right comment of commentary.
What a wonderful idea! I'll mention it to my sister, who's a teacher.
My only caveat to this advice is that Shapard's commentary does tend to suppose the reader already knows the story, so there are "spoilers" regarding events not yet occurred. Better that than not reading the book at all, though.
