By all accounts, Jane Austen seems to have lived a quiet, circumscribed life. The daughter of a Hampshire clergyman, she never married and rarely ventured outside the closeknit circle of her family and friends. But while her life may have been uneventful, her novels reveal a keen wit, an acute eye for social foibles, and a masterful prose style. Never out of print, her six novels have attracted a legion of enthusiastic fans and spawned multiple unofficial sequels and prequels as well as television and film adaptations. This title is divided into four sections: 1. Career, Life, and Influence Original essays offer readers an introduction to Austen by explicating the culture and time period during which Austen wrote her classic novels and the long history of Austen criticism. 2. Critical Contexts Austen's critical contexts are considered through a series of wide ranging overviews of her life and works. 3. Critical Readings This main section of the book provides a sample of critical close readings from a number of schools of thought. Each essay is 2,5005,000 words in length, and all essays conclude with a list of 'works Cited' along with endnotes. Essays are reprinted here to deepen readers' understanding of Austen and strengthen their engagement with the critical concerns surrounding her and her work. 4. Resources The volume's appendices offer a section of useful reference resources: A chronology of the author's life; A complete list of the author's works and their original dates of publication; A general bibliography; A detailed paragraph on the volume's editor; Notes on the individual chapter authors; and A subject index.
