Jane Austen As A Novelist Of The Romantic Age
Jane Austen was an English novelist and one of the great novelists of the Romantic Age, whose realism, biting social commentary and masterful use of free indirect speech, burlesque and irony have earned her a place as one of the most widely read and most beloved writers in English literature. Her works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the eighteenth century and are part of the transition to nineteenth-century realism. Jane Austen’s plots, though fundamentally comic, highlight the dependence of women on marriage to secure social standing and economic security. Like those of Samuel Johnson, one of the strongest influences on her writing, her works are concerned with moral issues.
