Jane Austen was a keen consumer of the arts throughout her lifetime. The Edinburgh Companion to Jane Austen and the Arts considers how Austen represents the arts in her writing, from her juvenilia to her mature novels. The thirty-three original chapters in this Companion cover the full range of Austen's engagement with the arts, including the silhouette and the caricature, crafts, theatre, fashion, music and dance, together with the artistic potential of both interior and exterior spaces. This volume also explores her artistic afterlives in creative re-imaginings across different media, including adaptations and transpositions in film, television, theatre, digital platforms and games.
Joe Bray is Professor of Language and Literature at the University of Sheffield. He is the author of The Language of Jane Austen (2018), The Portrait in Fiction of the Romantic Period (2016), The Female Reader in the English Novel (2008) and The Epistolary Novel: Representations of Consciousness (2003), and co-editor of, amongst others, The Routledge Companion to Experimental Literature (2012). Hannah Moss works for the National Trust, having completed her PhD at the University of Sheffield. Her thesis, entitled ‘Sister Artists: The Artist Heroine in British Women’s Writing, 1760–1830’, explores how the woman artist is characterised in poetry and prose fiction of the period and she has published articles on the British reception of Germaine de Staël’s Corinne (1807), the role of the arts in the novels of Ann Radcliffe, and the paratextual framing of Felicia Hemans’ ekphrastic poem, ‘Properzia Rossi‘ (1828).
