Literary critics such as Virginia Woolf and Lionel Trilling had
noted intuitive affinities between the art of Jane Austen and that
of Mozart, but this 1983 book was the first to compare their
artistic style and individual works in a comprehensive way.
Extended comparisons are of course difficult because of the
intrinsic differences between prose fiction and instrumental music.
In "Jane Austen and Mozart," Robert K. Wallace has succeeded in
making illuminating comparisons of spirit and form in the work of
these two artists. His book celebrates the achievements of Austen
and Mozart by comparing their stylistic significance in the history
of their separate arts and by offering comparisons of three Austen
novels with three Mozart piano concertos.
In exploring precise similarities between the two artists,
Wallace shows how the art and criticism of one field can illuminate
the art and criticism of another. Above all, Jane Austen and Mozart
attempts to show the degree to which three masterpieces by each
artist have comparable meaning and value.
