This book uses the figure of the Victorian heroine as a lens
through which to examine Jane Austen's presence in Victorian
critical and popular writings. Aimed at Victorianist readers and
scholars, the book focuses on the ways in which Austen was
constructed in fiction, criticism, and biography over the course of
the nineteenth century. For the Victorians, Austen became a kind of
cultural shorthand, representing a distant, yet not too-distant,
historical past that the Victorians both drew on and defined
themselves against with regard to such topics as gender,
literature, and national identity. Austen influenced the
development of the Victorian literary heroine, and when cast as a
heroine herself, was deployed in debates about the responsibilities
of the novelist and the ability of fiction to shape social and
cultural norms. Thus, the study is as much, if not more, about the
Victorians than it is about Jane Austen.
