商品簡介
Halsey (18th-century literature, U. of Stirling, Scotland) explores what she characterizes as the complex and unequal relationship between texts and readers. She begins by looking at Austen's (1775-1817) negotiations with her reading; her reinterpretations of the period's strictures about reading women and women's readings; and her representations of readers in her novels, letters, juvenilia, and fragments. Then she shifts focus to the textual and historical contexts of Austen's works, and the kinds of relationships that British historical readers have had with Austen and her novels.
