A study of the innovative stylistic features of Jane Austen's writing, relatively unexplored to date. This book is suitable for a broad range of readers, including students and scholars of Austen and anyone with an interest in questions of prose style or the history of the English novel.
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.
