Beskrivelse
Completing Juliette Wells' ground-breaking trilogy of books on Austen's readers, this latest volume revolutionizes our understanding of how Britain's best loved novelist entered the canon, showing that the roots of her enduring significance originated not in the UK, as is commonly believed, but in America. Weaving together colorful case-studies of a cast of Americans that are often overlooked but are crucial to Austen's reception, this book not only shows that Austen's reputation as a literary great originated in America, but also that it was founded not by scholars, but by writers and collectors working largely outside of academia.Engagingly written and extensively illustrated, A New Jane Austen will inform and delight scholars and Austen fans alike.
