Romantic Austen :

Tuite, Clara,

Romantic Austen : sexual politics and the literary canon / Clara Tuite. - Cambridge, UK ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2002. - xiii, 242 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. - Cambridge studies in Romanticism ; 49 .

This volume is the first to address Jane Austen's writings within the traditions of Romanticism. Tuite's study presents a series of historically contextualized readings of Austen's juvenilia (Catharine, or The Bower and The History of England), Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park and Austen's posthumously published novel, Sanditon, to examine ways in which Romantic-period definitions of nation, culture and literature continue to function in contemporary readings of Austen and her period.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 225-235) and index.
