Reading Austen in America presents a colorful, compelling account
of how an appreciative audience for Austen's novels originated and
developed in America, and how American readers contributed to the
rise of Austen's international fame. Drawing on a range of sources
that have never before come to light, Juliette Wells solves the
long-standing bibliographical mystery of how and why the first
Austen novel printed in America-the 1816 Philadelphia Emma-came to
be. She reveals the responses of this book's varied readers and
creates an extended portrait of one: Christian, Countess of
Dalhousie, a Scotswoman living in British North America. Through
original archival research, Wells establishes the significance to
reception history of two transatlantic friendships: the first
between ardent Austen enthusiasts in Boston and members of Austen's
family in the nineteenth century, and the second between an Austen
collector in Baltimore and an aspiring bibliographer in England in
the twentieth.
