内容説明

The first book to investigate Jane Austen's popular significance today, Everybody's Jane considers why Austen matters to amateur readers, how they make use of her novels, what they gain from visiting places associated with her, and why they create works of fiction and nonfiction inspired by her novels and life. The voices of everyday readers emerge from both published and unpublished sources, including interviews conducted with literary tourists and archival research into the founding of the Jane Austen Society of North America and the exceptional Austen collection of Alberta Hirshheimer Burke of Baltimore. Additional topics include new Austen portraits; portrayals of Austen, and of Austen fans, in film and fiction; and hybrid works that infuse Austen's writings with horror, erotica, or explicit Christianity. Everybody's Jane will appeal to all those who care about Austen and will change how we think about the importance of literature and reading today.

内容説明

This title explores the afterlives of Jane Austen's work in literature, film and popular culture. The plethora of Jane-Austen-related fiction and nonfiction - sequels, mysteries, dating guides, invented biographies, and more - that has appeared within the last decade attests to her readers' enthusiasm for re-envisioning her characters as well as herself. "Everybody's Jane" is the first study to investigate fully these popular appropriations of Austen in England and America, taking into account recent scholarly work on fan cultures and fan fiction. Like these Austen-inspired works themselves, this book stands at the crossroads between studies of popular culture and literary studies; it also offers a major contribution to the ongoing public discussion about the significance and relevance of Jane Austen today.
