In this major study, leading Austen scholar John Wiltshire offers
new interpretations of Jane Austen's six novels, Sense and
Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park
(1814), Emma (1816), Northanger Abbey and Persuasion (1818). Much
recent criticism of Austen has concentrated on the social,
historical and intellectual context of her work, but Wiltshire
turns attention back to Austen's prose techniques. Arguing that
each of Austen's works has its own distinct focus and underlying
agenda, he shows how Austen's interest in psychology, and
especially her treatment of attention and the various forms of
memory, helped shape her narratives. Through a series of compelling
close readings of key passages in each novel, Wiltshire underscores
Austen's unique ability to penetrate the hidden inner motives and
impulses of her characters, and reveals some of the secrets of her
narrative art.
