Jane Austen's Men, Hardback Book

Jane Austen's Men Hardback

Hardback

Description

The society in which Jane Austen lived and set her novels was a patriarchal one.

Men ran the country nationally and locally, and had professional or business careers.

Women were relegated to the subservient roles of wife, mother and housekeeper. What was it like to be a man in late Georgian and Regency England?

How did Jane Austen, who lived in a predominantly male household, portray her male characters?

How much inspiration did she draw from real men?This book explores the lives of the men in Jane’s life, her relationship with them, how typical they were of men of their time and the impact they had on her life and writing.

It also shows, through an in-depth look at the male characters in the novels, how men and women related to each other in society and how men maintained their dominant position.
