| Summary |
Despite dying in relative obscurity, Jane Austen has become a global force as different readers across time, space, and media have responded to her work - beyond simply American and Great Britain, there are Janeites to be found in China, India, and across the globe. Many fans feel they have developed a personal relationship with Austen and her work. This volume examines the ways in which her novels affect individual psychologies and how Janeites in both the English and non-English speaking worlds experience her work, from visiting her home, to public re-enactments, to films based on her writings |
