Abstract
No existing book on Jane Austen can boast such a large and varied collection of contemporary critical views as Re-Drawing Austen: Picturesque Travels in Austenland. The essays that compose it are all original and especially conceived for this publication, covering the main orientations in current criticism on Austen, from more traditional angles to the latest developments. The result is an exhaustive and up-to-date Jane Austen Reader that sheds new light on to the Austen phenomenon through an unprecedented critical heterogeneity and the variety of dialogues and debates arising among the many distinctive and authoritative contributions contained in the volume. In particular, the originality of Re-Drawing Austen is inspired by the principles the picturesque aesthetic that perfectly suit both the irony of Austen’s writing and the “openness” and lack of dogmatism of postmodern taste. With its unprecedented breadth and variety, this volume offers readers invaluable insights into the multiple lives of Jane Austen in contemporary culture. CONTENTS Acnowledgments. Foreword.
