This volume of international research provides a wide-ranging
account of Jane Austen's reception across the length and breadth of
Europe, from Russia and Finland in the North to Italy and Spain in
the South. In historical terms, the survey ranges from the
near-contemporary - since Austen's novels were available in French
very soon after their original publication - to modern times, in
those countries which for various reasons, linguistic, historical
or ideological, have taken up the novels only in recent years. For
many, Austen's novels are valued for their romantic content, as
love stories, but increasingly they are being perceived as
sophisticated, ironic narratives. In this, the quality of
translation has been a significant factor and the many film and
television adaptations have played an important part in
establishing Austen's reputation amongst the public at large. It
will be seen from this that across Europe Austen's 'reception
history' is far from uniform and has been shaped by a complex of
extra-literary forces.
