Recreating Jane Austen by Wiltshire John

Author: جان ویلتشیر(Wiltshire John)

Recreating Jane Austen is a book for readers who know and love Austen’s work. Stimulated by the recent crop of film and television versions of Austen’s novels, John Wiltshire examines how her work has been “recreated” in another age and medium.

Written in an engaging and readable style, this accessible study approaches the central question of the role Jane Austen plays in the contemporary cultural imagination.

I found this interesting, with some detailed analysis of Austen’s style, but at times hard to take in, especially when he starts to get into psychological theories, which always tend to make me glaze over. Also I’d hoped there would be more about the TV adaptations than is actually included. Even so, a good read for any dedicated reader of Austen. Judy

Far more about recreating than about Austen but quite interesting nonetheless. Andrea Hickman Walker
