Combining a feminist perspective with a non-western reading of Jane Austen, the text considers how being a woman shaped Austen's literary attitudes and social thinking. The author brings to bear her own post-colonial consciousness in understanding the economics, geography and social conventions of Austen's world. Analysis of the novels focuses on the way Jane Austen's treatment of inter-related issues such as marriage and professions, space and enclosure, art and life, language and artiface, provide the dynamics of narrative in her work. This text recognizes Austen's work as an interface between two sets of opposing impulses. The author, Meenakshi Mukherjee has also published two other titles - "The Twice Born Fiction - Themes and Techniques of the Indian Novel in English" and "Realism and Reality - The Novel and Society in India". She has also edited "Another India". Other titles in the series include "Women in Romanticism", "Sylvia Plath", "Charlotte Bronte", "Mrs Gaskell" and "Eudora Welty".
