It. .grounds her writing in the Enlightenment philosophy of selfhood, exploring how Austen takes five major components of selfhood theory—memory, imagination, probability, sympathy and reflection—and investigates their relation to self-formation and moral judgement. At the same time, Austen’s narrative style breaks new ground in the representation of consciousness and engages directly with contemporary concerns about reading practice. Drawing analogies between reading text and reading character, the book argues that Austen’s rendering of reading and rereading as both reflective and constitutive acts demonstrates their capacity to enable self-recognition and self-formation. It shows how Austen raises questions about the potential for different readings and, in so doing, challenges her readers to reflect on and reread their own interactions with her texts. . | 出版日期 | Book 2022 | 关键词 | Jane Austen; Selfhood; Reflection; Moral judgement; Reading practice; Narrative technique; Enlightenment p | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-12160-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-12162-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-12160-9 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
