Description


Focuses on the juvenilia and novels of Jane Austen as social and cultural products of their time. Austen's early novels in particular were written under and against the influence of contemporary romantic, gothic and sentimental fiction. Explores the way her work engages with these and other eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century texts as various as gender-based codes of conduct and landscape-gardening, concluding with an examination of transformations, such as film and sequel.
