| Title | Jane Austen's style : narrative economy and the novel's gowth / Anne Toner. |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (xi, 210 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 14 Feb 2020). |
| Contents | Introduction: Austen and the economy of art -- Structure/ selection, connection, and the picturesque -- Language/ apophatic Austen (not saying things and saying so) -- Dialogue/ Austen's missing speakers and the case for free direct discourse -- Conclusion: Sanditon's shorthand. |
| Summary | Jane Austen is renowned for the economy of her art: for the close focus of her romantic plots and the precision of her writing style. Exploring that economy stylistically and structurally, this book traces Austen's keen interest in narrative form. Anne Toner pinpoints techniques that are fundamental to the distinctiveness of Austen's fiction, many of which have been little explored to date. Toner argues that Austen's conciseness in terms of plotting, narrative description and in the depiction of dialogue also contributed to her innovations in representing thought, expanding the novel's capacity to depict consciousness. Narrative and rhetorical features are presented clearly and accessibly and will open up new ways of thinking about prose style with implications for the study of fiction beyond Austen's own. |
| Subject | Austen, Jane, 1775-1817 Literary style. English language 19th century Style. |
