First published in 1984, John Hardy's important interpretation of Jane Austen's heroines challenges the accepted tradition of viewing Austen as merely a rational comedienne of manners. Hardy argues that Austen's greatness lies in her exploration of human relationships through the subtle and original portrayal of her heroines.
Jane Austen's heroines develop distinctive relationships with the men they marry, reflecting a potential for intimacy that leads to shared privacy. Austen's insight into this core aspect of human relationships, alongside her belief that love and friendship are essential to overcoming solitude, and the integrity of her heroines, form the major elements that make her novels deeply satisfying.
