基本説明

This volume explores the values which Austen's life and works can be made to represent in diverse cultural contexts. It also engage with the history of her literary reputation and her construction as a canonical author, and examines the tension between the responses of her 'common readers' and the views of the literary-critical establishment.

Full Description

This book focuses on how Austen's life and work is being re-framed and re-imagined in 20th and 21st century literature and culture. Tracing the connections between Modernist Austen in the early C20th and feminist and post-feminist appropriations in the later C20th, it examines how Austen emerged as a complex point of reference on the global stage.
