  abstract: "Jane Austen has more readers today than at any time in history. Many of Austen's legions of fans, however, came to her novels after first seeing films or other adaptations made for twenty-first century audiences. Austen herself conversely spent her literary career undermining romantic clichés and rethinking novel conventions. Confident that she and her contemporaries shared a common reading culture, Austen deliberately constructed her novels to set readerly expectations, only to disrupt or confound those expectations by challenging her readers' assumptions and values. In Reading with Jane Austen, Elaine Bander carefully rereads the great author's novels--beginning with her late work of juvenilia, "Catharine, or The Bower," and ending with her final fragment, "Sanditon"--against the rich context of late Georgian literary and intellectual culture. In doing so, Bander invites us into the transformative experience that Austen intentionally designed for her earliest readers, adding new layers of appreciation for those who love her work. Published by Bucknell University Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press"-- Provided by publisher.
