Description

Jane Austen's novels are often seen as reflections of their social and historical context. However, in this major study, John Wiltshire turns attention back to Austen's prose techniques, arguing that each novel has its own distinct focus and underlying agenda. Wiltshire explores how Austen's interest in psychology, particularly her treatment of attention and memory, shaped her narratives. Through close readings of key passages in each novel, he reveals the secrets of Austen's narrative art, including her unique ability to penetrate the inner motives and impulses of her characters. By examining Austen's prose techniques, Wiltshire offers a fresh perspective on Austen's works, shedding new light on the author's enduring legacy.
