Miss Austen's Mistake

Autor: Captain Charles Swensen

Número de Páginas: 237

Jane Austen fans will find much to enjoy in Charles Swensen's clever take on Sense and Sensibility. In Miss Austen's Mistake the "real" Colonel Brandon--who is, incidentally, an actual friend of the "real" Miss Austen--reviews the novel's events from an entirely new perspective, one he claims is much closer to the truth. Fact or fiction? It's great fun and can leave heads spinning. --Linda Watanabe McFerrin, author of Navigating the Divide and Dead Love

Anna Seward and the End of the Eighteenth Century

Autor: Claudia T. Kairoff

Número de Páginas: 498

A critical study of the prominent British poet’s work. Anna Seward and her career defy easy placement into the traditional periods of British literature. Raised to emulate the great poets John Milton and Alexander Pope, maturing in the Age of Sensibility, and publishing during the early Romantic era, Seward exemplifies the eighteenth-century transition from classical to Romantic. Claudia Thomas Kairoff’s excellent critical study offers fresh readings of Anna Seward's most important writings and firmly establishes the poet as a pivotal figure among late-century British writers. Reading Seward’s writing alongside recent scholarship on gendered conceptions of the poetic career, patriotism, provincial culture, sensibility, and the sonnet revival, Kairoff carefully reconsiders Seward's poetry and critical prose. Written as it was in the last decades of the eighteenth century, Seward’s work does not comfortably fit into the dominant models of Enlightenment-era verse or the tropes that characterize Romantic poetry. Rather than seeing this as an obstacle for understanding Seward’s writing within a particular literary style, Kairoff argues that this allows readers to see in...
