This title explores the surprisingly important part that children
play in the novels of Jane Austen and the contribution they make to
understanding her adult characters. Jane Austen is not usually
associated with children - especially since she had none of her
own. But there are in fact more children in her novels than one
might at first think. She herself was from a sizeable family, with
numerous nephews and nieces. She was, by all accounts, good with
children and popular with them. It was therefore natural for her to
include them in her novels, even if sometimes offstage. This book,
by one of the world's leading authorities on Austen, looks at both
the real and the literary children in her life - children seen and
unseen (and dead); children as models of behaviour, good and bad;
as objects of affection, amusement, usefulness, pity, regret,
jealousy, resentment; children in the way; children as excuses;
and, children as heirs. In the process, it casts fascinating light
on a hitherto largely ignored aspect of her work and the age in
which she lived.
