Description - Jane Austen's Civilized Women by Enit K Steiner
Jane Austen s six complete novels and her "juvenilia" are examined in the context of civil society and gender. Steiner s study uses a variety of contexts to appraise Austen s work: Scottish Enlightenment theories of societal development, early-Romantic discourses on gender roles, modern sociological theories on the civilizing process and postmodern feminist positions on moral development and interpersonal relations. Austen is presented as a writer who not only participated in late eighteenth-century debates, but who is able to address twenty-first-century concerns of a theoretical and practical nature."
