The Literary Economy of Jane Austen and George Crabbe

The Literary Economy of Jane Austen and George Crabbe

Though Jane Austen (1775-1817) and the poet George Crabbe (1754-1832) each wrote during the Napoleonic Wars no full-length study has considered the importance of these pivotal events to their writing. In The Literary Economy of Jane Austen and George Crabbe the author argues that both writers were unusually responsive to the economic anxieties specific to wartime occasioned especially by the Napoleonic trade embargo imposed on Britain from 1806 to 1812 and shared a particular concern with the economizing of space. The author's term 'spatial economy' refers to the practice of turning available resources to the best possible account which these authors applied even to the practice of writing as they strove to preserve space on the page (Austen in her letters and Crabbe in the couplet). Their work displays a preoccupation with boundaries pressure and containment which also informs economic treatises published during this period. Through close readings and fresh contextual and historical analysis that draws on the ideas of contemporary thinkers such as Thomas Malthus William Spence William Cobbett Arthur Young and Humphrey Repton Winborn not only establishes a close affinity between Austen and Crabbe but makes a convincing case for rethinking the relationship between the novel and poetry during the Romantic period.
