What Jane Austen's Characters Read [and Why]

Susan Allen Ford

4.9/5 (32782 ratings)

Description:The first detailed account of Austen's characters' reading experience to date, this book explores both what her characters read and what their literary choices would have meant to Austen's own readership, both at the time and today.Jane Austen was a voracious and extensive reader, so it's perhaps no surprise that many of her characters display a similar appetite for the written word, from Mr. Collins in Pride and Prejudice to Fanny Price in Mansfield Park. Beginning by looking at Austen's own reading as well as her interest in readers' responses to her work, the book then focuses on each of her novels, looking at the particular works that her characters read and unpacking the multiple (and often surprising) ways in which these inform the reading of Austen's works. In doing so, it uses Austen's own love of reading to invite us to rethink the way in which she thought about her characters and their lives beyond the novels.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
