In comparing the earlier and later phases of Austen's career, Deresiewicz addresses an important yet neglected issue regarding her work: the longstanding critical consensus that Austen's last three novels (\u003ci\u003eMansfield Park\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEmma\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003ePersuasion\u003c\/i\u003e) represent far greater artistic achievements than do her first three (\u003ci\u003eNorthanger Abbey\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSense and Sensibility\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003ePride and Prejudice\u003c\/i\u003e). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJane Austen and the Romantic Poets\u003c\/i\u003e offers a rich account of the differences between the two phases of Austen's career. In doing so, it contextualizes her later novels within the British Romantic movement and the works of Wordsworth, Coleridge, Scott, and Byron. Through close readings of \u003ci\u003eMansfield Park\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEmma\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003ePersuasion\u003c\/i\u003e, Deresiewicz reveals the importance of Romantic ideas in Austen's later work, considering the ways in which the novels investigate hidden mechanisms of psychic and affective life, including \"substitution,\" \"ambiguous relationships,\" and \"widowhood.\" Deresiewicz's innovative approach and its emphasis on Romanticism opens up new perspectives on Austen's later novels by exploring their patterns of imagery, narrative logics, and social and historical dimensions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Deresiewicz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48277071986939,"sku":"9780231134149","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9780231134149.jpg?v=1772481074","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/jane-austen-and-the-romantic-poets-9780231134149","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
