The Author's Inheritance: Henry Fielding, Jane Austen, and the Establishment of the Novel - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

In the first extended study to focus on Henry Fielding's influence on the works of Jane Austen, Parker (English, Saint Joseph's U.) explores how Fielding and Austen rely upon a common comedic vision, employ similar themes and plot structures, and follow a similar trajectory in their careers. She examines the authors' variations on the inheritance plot and the establishment of the novel as a genre, and asserts that the novel serves as a matrix of cultural conflict, concurrently reinforcing tradition and also revealing alternatives to it.
