16501850: Ideas, Aesthetics, and Inquiries in the Early Modern Era
The advantage is that the chapters tend to be manageable, clear, and focused perfect, in fact, for assigning to undergraduate and beginning graduate students. I for one certainly plan on doing that. After all, one of the charms of enchantment is that it can be contagious.
Notes and Queries
How is it that fresh perspectives on Austen and her writing are still being thought up? Johnson and Tuite answer that the study of Austen today is a diverse, expansive, excitable and critical life-form, growing and changing with new audiences and approaches to literary criticism. Arranged in five parts, this Companion covers the style and genre of her novels, including the history of manuscripts, editions and illustrations (with 13 black-and-white facsimiles); individual readings of the main texts, looking at how Austen was initially received by critics and readers alike and the success of Pride and Prejudice ; Austens literary style and technique, showing how the author used language and who she was influenced by; the political, social and cultural settings of her novels, discussing the French Revolution and feminism; and how Austen has been reinvented by different generations, from the silver fork novel of the Victorian era to sexed-up television adaptations of our screens today.
