Description: The first detailed account of Austen's characters reading experience to date this book explores both what her characters read and what their literary choices would have meant to Austen's own readership both during her life and today. Jane Austen was a voracious and extensive reader so it's perhaps no surprise that many of her characters are also readers from Mr. Collins in Pride and Prejudice to Fanny Price in Mansfield Park. Beginning by looking at Austen's own reading as well as her interest in readers responses to her work the book then focuses on each of her novels looking at the particulars of her characters reading and unpacking the multiple (and often surprising) ways in which what they read informs our reading. What Jane Austen's Characters Read (and Why) uses Austen's own love of reading to invite us to rethink the ways in which she imagined her characters and their lives beyond the novels.
