Beskrivning

‘Jane Austen and her Readers, 1786–1945’ is a study of the history of reading Jane Austen’s novels. It discusses Austen’s own ideas about books and readers, the uses she makes of her reading, and the aspects of her style that are related to the ways in which she has been read. The volume considers the role of editions and criticism in directing readers’ responses, and presents and analyses a variety of source material related to the ordinary readers who read Austen’s works between 1786 and 1945.

Recensioner i media

‘[A] richly informative study […] While Halsey clearly distinguishes her aims from those of scholars concerned with Austen’s receptions in such modern-day forms as film adaptations or fan fiction, this study is likely to prove highly instructive to specialists in these areas, given the thoroughness with which Halsey surveys historic, imaginative appropriations of Austen’s narratives and characters within private and public spheres alike.’ —Jenny McAuley, ‘BARS Bulletin and Review’
