This book makes connections between selfhood, reading practice and
moral judgment which propose fresh insights into Austen's narrative
style and offer new ways of reading her work. It grounds her
writing in the Enlightenment philosophy of selfhood, exploring how
Austen takes five major components of selfhood theory-memory,
imagination, probability, sympathy and reflection-and investigates
their relation to self-formation and moral judgement. At the same
time, Austen's narrative style breaks new ground in the
representation of consciousness and engages directly with
contemporary concerns about reading practice. Drawing analogies
between reading text and reading character, the book argues that
Austen's rendering of reading and rereading as both reflective and
constitutive acts demonstrates their capacity to enable
self-recognition and self-formation. It shows how Austen raises
questions about the potential for different readings and, in so
doing, challenges her readers to reflect on and reread their own
interactions with her texts.
