{"product_id":"jane-austen-rle-jane-austen-1","title":"Jane Austen (RLE Jane Austen)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1924, this unique title provides an extremely valuable early Twentieth Century perspective on Jane Austen, offering analysis from both sides of the channel. The book includes both a translated study of Jane Austen by French academic Léonie Villard, and a study by influential biographer and critic, R. Brimley Johnson.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohnson's study, made with particular reference to the unpublished epistolary novel, \u003cem\u003eLove and Friendship\u003c\/em\u003e, seeks to redress the balance of contemporary criticism of Austen, challenging the established links between Austen and Nineteenth Century realism, and suggesting instead that her work owes a great deal to the conventions of romance. He also demonstrates how her art transformed from the parody of \u003cem\u003eNothanger Abbey\u003c\/em\u003e to the portraiture of the later novels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLéonie Villard's ambitious work analyses a variety of topics relating to Austen's work, including women and marriage, psychology, satire, the gentry and the lasting value and scope of the novels. All in all, a very engaging, informative and insightful reissue.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54235696988504,"sku":"9781138084421","price":58.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138084421.jpg?v=1769012128","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/jane-austen-rle-jane-austen-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
