First published in 1924, this unique title provides an early Twentieth Century perspective on Jane Austen, offering analysis from both French and English viewpoints. The book includes a translated study of Jane Austen by French academic Léonie Villard, alongside a study by influential biographer and critic R. Brimley Johnson.
Johnson’s study, with particular reference to the unpublished epistolary novel Love and Friendship, challenges contemporary criticism by arguing that Austen’s work owes much to romance conventions rather than nineteenth-century realism. He traces Austen’s artistic transformation from the parody in Northanger Abbey to the portraiture of her later novels.
Villard’s ambitious analysis covers women and marriage, psychology, satire, the gentry, and the lasting value and scope of Austen’s novels. An engaging and insightful reissue for Austen scholars and enthusiasts.
