First published in 1984, John Hardy's important interpretation of
Jane Austen's heroines breaks through the accepted tradition of
viewing the author as merely a rational comedienne of manners. He
argues instead that Jane Austen's greatness lies in her exploration
of human relationships through the subtle and original portrayal of
her heroines. Jane Austen's heroines come to enjoy a distinctive
relationship with the men they eventually marry. Between her lovers
the potential exists for the kind of intimacy that leads to a
shared privacy. Austen's recognition of this represents her special
insight into what is of central importance in human relationships.
Her belief that love and friendship are our only hope of triumphing
over solitude, and the character and integrity of her heroines, are
the major elements which make Jane Austen's novels so satisfying.
