Full Description
Reading Jane Austen: An Introduction captures the dynamic range of scholarly, popular, and pedagogical conversations that characterize contemporary Austen studies as a vibrant part of the broader Austen universe. Organized around historically oriented models of reading Austen's works—re-evaluating the past, considering the present, and imagining the future—the volume includes eight new interdisciplinary essays that show us why we continue to find Austen's relevance in our contemporary moment, along with a collaborative, conversational conclusion. The goal of the volume is to provide an accessible, concise, and comprehensive set of tools, resources, and models that empower readers to accept the invitation to join in the ongoing critical conversation about Austen. The volume will appeal to teachers of Austen in the high school and university classroom, to leaders of book clubs and reading groups, and to online, fan, and creative communities centering on Austen.
