This book examines Austen's novels in relation to her philosophical and religious context, demonstrating that the combination of the classical and theological traditions of the virtues is central to her work. Instead of defining virtue only in the narrow sense of female sexual virtue, Austen opens up questions about a plurality of virtues.
This book examines Austen''s novels within their philosophical and religious contexts, and demonstrates that both classical and theological virtues are central to her work. In fresh readings of the six completed novels, plus Lady Susan, Emsley shows how Austen''s complex representations of the tensions among the virtues shape the morality of her characters and their societies.
