Imagining Jane Austen's life -- Recreating Jane Austen: Jane Austen in Manhattan, Metropolitan, Clueless -- An Englishwoman's constitution: Jane Austen and Shakespeare -- From drama, to novel, to film: inwardness in Mansfield Park and Persuasion -- Pride and prejudice, love and recognition -- The genius and the facilitating environment
"Recreating Jane Austen is a book for readers who know and love Austen's work. Stimulated by the recent crop of film and television versions of Austen's novels, John Wiltshire examines how they have been transposed and 'recreated' in another age and medium. Wiltshire illuminates the process of 'recreation' through the work of the psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott, and offers Jane Austen's own relation to Shakespeare as a suggestive parallel. Exploring the romantic impulse in Austenian biography, 'Jane Austen' as a commodity, and offering a re-interpretation of Pride and Prejudice, this book approaches the central question of the role Jane Austen plays in the contemporary cultural imagination."--Jacket
