Jane Austen: Northanger Abbey/Persuasion Paperback / softback
by Enit Karafili (University of Lausanne (UNIL), LAUSANNE, Switzerland) Steiner
Part of the Readers' Guides to Essential Criticism series
Paperback / softback
Description
Northanger Abbey was one of Jane Austen's earliest manuscripts; Persuasion was her last.
Published together in a single volume after her death, the two books differ widely.
Northanger Abbey is a spirited, Gothic parody, while Persuasion has increasingly been seen as a new direction for the Austen canon.
The two texts have been widely analysed and debated since publication, and continue to be so today. In this Readers' Guide, Enit Karafili Steiner:- Delineates a clear trajectory through the books' many interpretations over two centuries, mapping these out thematically and chronologically. - Contextualises and brings into dialogue influential approaches such as psychoanalytical criticism, structuralism, deconstruction, Marxism, New Historicism, and feminism. - Discusses film adaptations of the novels and their relation to literary criticism.
