Klappentext zu „Readers' Guides to Essential Criticism / Jane Austen: Northanger Abbey / Persuasion “
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
