Jane Austen is often associated with conservatism and her novels
are often seen as light entertainment depicting a vanished world
and its manners.
Mary Evan's study, first published in 1987, seeks to contradict
the conventional wisdom regarding Austen's social and political
leanings and argues that far from endorsing established and
conservative views Jane Austen advances a radical critique of the
morality of bourgeois capitalism and demonstrates a concern for the
articulation of women's rights and views whilst simultaneously
drawing attention to the vulnerability of women in the economic
marketplace.
Mary Evans adopts a multidisciplinary approach and her book will
appeal to anyone who is interested in Jane Austen's writing as well
as those concerned with the moral basis of contemporary
politics.
