Jane Austen and Critical Theory is a collection of new essays that
addresses the absence of critical theory in Austen studies-an
absence that has limited the reach of Austen criticism. The
collection brings together innovative scholars who ask new and
challenging questions about the efficacy of Austen's work. This
volume confronts mythical understandings of Austen as "Dear Aunt
Jane," the early twentieth-century legacy of Austen as a cultural
salve, and the persistent habit of reading her works for advice or
instruction. The authors pursue a diversity of methods, encourage
us to build new kinds of relationships to Austen and her writings,
and demonstrate how these relationships might generate new ideas
and possibilities-ideas and possibilities that promise to expand
the ways in which we deploy Austen. The book specifically reminds
us of the vital importance of Austen and her fiction for central
concerns of the humanities, including the place of the individual
within civil society, the potential for new identities and
communities, the urgency to address racial and sexual oppression,
and the need to imagine more just futures.
