Eighteenth-century Influences on Jane Austen's Early Fiction

Abstrak

This book examines how the Gothic writing of Ann Radcliffe and the 18th century novels of Fanny Burney helped to shape and hone Jane Austen's own eighteenth-century literary endeavors where she mastered the parodic-Gothic form and created characters that while uniquely hers, owed a great deal to the late-18th century English milieu.
