Romantic Austen: Sexual Politics and the Literary CanonCambridge University Press, 2002 M02 28 - 242 pages The first full-length scholarly monograph to examine Jane Austen's writings within the traditions of Romanticism. Tuite's study presents a series of historically contextualized readings of Austen's juvenilia (Catharine, or The Bower and The History of England), Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park and Austen's posthumously published novel, Sanditon, to examine ways in which Romantic-period definitions of nation, culture and literature continue to function in contemporary readings of Austen and her period. |
