- Description
- An exploration of representations of Jane Austen in three women's magazine in the 19th century (1852-1890). Even though these magazines had different goals and target audiences, they depicted Austen in similar, if contradictory, ways-as simultaneously worldly and domestic, professional and unambitous. Author interpretes these negotiations as symptomatic of the tensions between conservative and progressive definitions of female identity posited in Victorian women's magazines in those days.
