First published in 1924, thisunique titleprovides an extremely valuableearly TwentiethCentury perspective on Jane Austen, offering analysis from both sides of the channel.Thebook includesboth a translated studyof Jane Austen by French academic Léonie Villard, and a study by influential biographer and critic, R. Brimley Johnson.Johnson's study, made with particular reference to the unpublished epistolarynovel, Love and Friendship, seeks to redress the balance of contemporary criticism of Austen, challenging the established links betweenAusten andNineteenth 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 Nothanger Abbey to the portraiture of the later novels.Léonie 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.
