References to Jane Austen appear more than one thousand times in North American magazines and journals during the nineteenth century.
The articles that discuss Austen provide an interesting story of a woman author who was deeply appreciated for her writing and for her biography - for the most part. Perhaps, not surprisingly, her greatest advocates and defenders were other prominent women. Critical standards and critical language were vastly different from the 21st century interpretations we enjoy today. Continuous attention, appreciation, and even controversy helped ensure that her reputation remained alive for the first hundred years of her afterlife among North American readers. Join us as JASNA President, Mary Mintz, discusses these interesting articles! |
