Jane Austen A Style in History

Jane Austen A Style in History

From 1809 until just before her death Jane Austen lived in a small all-female household at Chawton where reading aloud was the evening's entertainment and a crucial factor in the way Austen formed and modified her writing. This book looks in detail at Jane Austen's style. It discusses her characteristic abstract vocabulary her adaptations of Johnsonian syntax and how she came to make her most important contribution to the technique of fiction free indirect discourse. The book draws extensively on historical sources especially the work of writers like Johnson Hugh Blair and Thomas Sheridan and analyses how Austen negotiated her path between the fundamentally masculine concerns of eighteenth-century prescriptivists and her own situation of a female writer reading her work aloud to a female audience. | Jane Austen A Style in History

Jane Austen and Critical Theory

Jane Austen and Critical Theory

The book specifically reminds us of the vital importance of Austen and her fiction for central concerns of the humanities including the place of the individual within civil society the potential for new identities and communities the urgency to address racial and sexual oppression and the need to imagine more just futures.

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.

Character and Conflict in Jane Austen's Novels A Psychological Approach

Character and Conflict in Jane Austen's Novels A Psychological Approach

In Character and Conflict in Jane Austen's Novels Bernard J. Paris offers an analysis of the protagonists in four of Jane Austen's most popular novels. His analysis reveals them to be brilliant mimetic creations who often break free of the formal and thematic limitations placed upon them by Austen. Paris traces the powerful tensions between form theme and mimesis in Mansfield Park Emma Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion. Paris uses Northrop Frye's theory of comic forms to analyze and describe the formal structure of the novels and Karen Horney's psychological theories to explore the personalities and inner conflicts of the main characters. The concluding chapter turns from the characters to their creator employing the Horneyan categories of self-effacing detached and expansive personality types to interpret Jane Austen's own personality. Readers of Jane Austen will find much that is new and challenging in this study. It is one of the few books to recognize and pay tribute to Jane Austen's genius in characterization. Anyone who reads this book will come away with a new understanding of Austen's heroines as imagined human beings and also with a deeper feeling for the troubled humanity of the author herself. | Character and Conflict in Jane Austen's Novels A Psychological Approach

English Novel Vol II The Smollett to Austen

English Novel Vol II The Smollett to Austen

The English Novel Volume II: Smollett to Austen collects a series of previously-published essays on the early eighteenth-century novel in a single volume reflecting the proliferation of theoretical approaches since the 1970s. The novel has been the object of some of the most exciting and important critical speculations and the eighteenth-century novel has been at the centre of new approaches both to the novel and to the period between 1750 and 1800. Richard Kroll's introduction seeks to frame the contributions by reference to the most significant critical discussions. These include: the general importance of 'sentimentalism' as a cultural movement after 1750; its relationship to the emergence of the Gothic novel as a specific genre or mode; the rapid rise in the number of women novelists in the later eighteenth century; the relationship between the novel as mediator of social relations and the idea of the 'public sphere'; the relationship between novelistic codes and the massive growth of a consumerist society; the class conflicts of writers like Smollett; the effect on the novel of the new 'British' nation; and the effects of the French Revolution and the subsequent political debates on writers like Wollstonecraft Godwin and Austen. This collection will be of interest to students of the later enlightenment and also to all who are interested in late eighteenth-century radicalism and the general relationship between literature history and politics. | English Novel Vol II The Smollett to Austen
