This is the first exploration of the performative and theatrical
force of Austen's work and its afterlife, from the nineteenth
century to the present. It unearths new and little-known Austen
materials: from suffragette novels and pageants to school and
amateur theatricals, passing through mid-twentieth-century
representations in Scotland and America. The book concludes with an
examination of Austen fandom based on an online survey conducted by
the author, which elicited over 300 responses from fans across the
globe. Through the lens of performative theory, this volume
explores how Austen, her work and its afterlives, have aided the
formation of collective and personal identity; how they have helped
bring people together across the generations; and how they have had
key psychological, pedagogical and therapeutic functions for an
ever growing audience. Ultimately, this book explains why Austen
remains the most beloved author in English Literature.
