From 1809 until just before her death, Jane Austen lived in a
small, all-female household at Chawton, where reading aloud was the
evening's entertainment and a crucial factor in the way Austen
formed and modified her writing. This book looks in detail at Jane
Austen's style. It discusses her characteristic abstract
vocabulary, her adaptations of Johnsonian syntax and how she came
to make her most important contribution to the technique of
fiction, free indirect discourse. The book draws extensively on
historical sources, especially the work of writers like Johnson,
Hugh Blair and Thomas Sheridan, and analyses how Austen negotiated
her path between the fundamentally masculine concerns of
eighteenth-century prescriptivists and her own situation of a
female writer reading her work aloud to a female audience.
