Jane Austen's Philosophy of the Virtues (repost)

Jane Austen's Philosophy of the Virtues
Palgrave Macmillan | 2005 | ISBN: 1403969663 | Pages: 216 | PDF | 1.72 MB

This book examines Austen's novels within their philosophical and religious contexts, and demonstrates that both classical and theological virtues are central to her work. In fresh readings of the six completed novels, plus Lady Susan, Emsley shows how Austen's complex representations of the tensions among the virtues shape the morality of her characters and their societies.
