Uses of Austen : Jane's Afterlives

This book focuses on how Austen's life and work is being re-framed and re-imagined in 20th and 21st century literature and culture.

Tracing the connections between Modernist Austen in the early C20th and feminist and post-feminist appropriations in the later C20th, it examines how Austen emerged as a complex point of reference on the global stage.
