Poem To a 'Jane Austen' class at Ibadan University Molara Ogundipe
Jane Austen has proved to be one of the most accessible and
enduring legacies of Western culture in the last two hundred years.
As a cultural icon, as well as an object of serious intellectual
investigation, 'Jane Austen' has influenced the critical
understanding of and the popular imagination around social
relations and cultural rituals - the institution of marriage, the
ideology of romantic relationship, the cultural imagining of class,
or social prestige - as well as larger historical pictures that
include slavery and colonialism.
This cutting-edge volume brings together works by Jane Austen
scholars and experts in film studies, postcolonial studies and
feminism from four different continents. Their essays investigate
the ways in which travelling theories and narratives are
reinterpreted and translated in the global context; explore how
cultural representations affect the ways social relations are
reordered and conceptual boundaries are realigned; and the ways
that gender operates in the discourses of nationalism, colonialism
and postcoloniality.
This book is the first to bridge two significant bodies of recent
Austen scholarship: one emphasising the issue of gender and one
centralising the history of colonialism and slavery. It reveals the
presence of Austen in India, Korea, and the United States as well
as the influence of 'the Other' in Jane Austen's 'known community.'
For students and researchers in literary, postcolonial, media and
gender studies, this book provides a groundbreaking reappraisal of
classical literature using postcolonial methodology.
