Southam Brian - Jane Austen's Literary Manuscripts A Study Of The Novelist's Development Through The Surviving Papers. Revised Edition - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Jane Austen's Literary Manuscripts remains the definitive account of the novelist's surviving papers. These date from 1787 to 1817, from the beginning to the very end of her writing career. Their evidence considerably deepens our understanding of the imaginative process that stands behind the composition of the great novels. In Sanditon the last work we see the promise of a further and startling development in her art. The influence of her childhood reading and home life is considered in the first chapter and a further new chapter examines Sir Charles Grandison a work newly attributed to Jane Austen by Brian Southam in 1977. In an appendix Southam discusses Mrs Leavis's theory concerning the relationship between Jane Austen's life and art and between the juvenilia and the later novels.
