How did Jane Austen come to write six novels that are still widely
regarded as some of the highest achievements of the genre? The
answer lies in understanding what Austen read, and how she read it.
Jane Austen the Reader shows how the books Austen read - and the
critical way in which she read them - influenced her writing, and
her artistic innovations. Austen's steadfast belief in the
possibilities of fiction sustained her through early rejection and
disappointment, and led to the creation of some of literature's
masterpieces. Austen devoured drama, history, poetry and novels,
but it was not just as a passive consumer looking for
entertainment, nor as a writer searching for ideas that Austen
engaged with literature. Rather, she was a critical reader -
investigating and evaluating literature, and articulating in her
own works her vision of what the novel could be.
