This book examines Austen's novels in relation to her philosophical
and religious context, demonstrating that the combination of the
classical and theological traditions of the virtues is central to
her work. Austen's heroines learn to confront the fundamental
ethical question of how to live their lives. Instead of defining
virtue only in the narrow sense of female sexual virtue, Austen
opens up questions about a plurality of virtues. In fresh readings
of the six completed novels, plus Lady Susan, Emsley shows how
Austen's complex imaginative representations of the tensions among
the virtues engage with and expand on classical and Christian
ethical thought.
