Julia Prewitt Brown

Jane Austen’s Novels provides the readers with an in-depth look of Austen’s values and world view as seen through her writing. After an introduction, Julia Prewitt Brown discusses each of Austen’s novels in depth. They are compared and contrasted with each other and with writing by 19th century female authors to highlight the development and quality of Austen’s subject matter and style.
Brown’s critique and analysis of Jane Austen’s work is by now over 30 years old, but her argument that Austen in essence wrote about the society and how social change was reflected in the community still has value. People who have previous experience with literary criticism and know Austen’s writing well will get the most out of this book.
