  • Marianne Dashwood and Charlotte Lucas (The Christian Ideal of Marriage in Jane Austen)
    Not Said But Shown 432 17. Marianne Dashwood and Charlotte Lucas (The Christian Ideal of Marriage in Jane Austen) ----- Marianne Dashwood at seventeen believes in “wholeheartedness.” One should cultivate right feelings as far as one possibly can, and express them frankly and to the full; and all with whom one can relate properly must do the same. One’s feelings should be intense, and the expression of them should be enthusiastic and eloquent. Towards those whose feelings are right, but who cannot achieve this freedom of expression, one must be charitable; but one should avoid all whose thought and behavior is governed by convention. Following convention corrupts one’s “sensibility,” so that one can no longer tell what the truth of natural feeling is. Thus, when Edward Ferrars and Marianne’s sister Elinor become mutually attached, Marianne approves of Edward — and she certainly agrees with her mother, who says, “I have never yet known what it was to separate esteem and love” (SS, I, iii, 16). But she cannot imagine how Elinor can be in love with Edward, because he lacks true “sensibility.” “Edward is very amiable, and I love him tenderly. But . his figure is not striking . His eyes want all that spirit, that fire, which at once announce virtue and intelligence . he has no real taste . I could not be happy with a man whose taste did not in every point coincide with my own . how spiritless, how tame was Edward’s manner in reading to us last night! . it would have broke my heart had I loved him, to hear him read with so little sensibility” (17-8).

  • Silence and the Duel in Sense and Sensibility
    “He to defend: I to punish”: Silence and the Duel in t Sense and Sensibility :Li VINCE BREWTON Vince Brewton (email: [email protected]) is Assistant Professor of English at the University of North Alabama. He has written for The Southern Quarterly and The Continuum Encyclopedia of American Literature. His ongoing research reflects on the relationship between identity and violence. A t the heart of Sense and Sensibility we find a little-noted duel, an affair of honor conducted between Colonel Brandon and Willoughby, two of the three male principals in the novel. The duel, though heavy with significance for the novel, is interestingly underemphasized in the text itself and largely unacknowledged in critical discussion. A Regency duel is an example of what Peter Gay calls “the cultivation of hatred,” i.e., the sub- limation of raw aggression as well as the deliberately nurtured expression of that same resentment.1 The “hatred” sufficient to provoke a duel arises over Willoughby’s seduction of Brandon’s ward, Eliza, and the duel exists for the reader only because its participants engage in a secondary discur- sive “duel” on the “site” of Elinor Dashwood, each confiding in her his grievance and his justification for his conduct. While the duel is never revealed to us in its details directly or indi- rectly, it is significant as an emblem of the power relations informing the plot of Sense and Sensibility. I want to place the unconsidered duel within the framework of power relations in the work while at the same time undertaking to read the novel in light of the duel’s significance and deter- mine the extent to which it alters or affirms our approach to the text.

  • Elinor Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility
    SUMMARY －139－ Elinor Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility KITAWAKI Tokuko Sense and Sensibility was Jane Austen’s first novel published in 1811. Its first manuscript was entitled Elinor and Marianne, which was written as the story of two sisters in 1795. This story was rewritten twice in the sixteen years before its publication. Sense and Sensibility is regarded as a debate or a dialogue. Elinor Dashwood is a symbol of sense and Marianne Dashwood is that of sensibility. Jane Austen tried to let sense and sensibility have a dialogue through this novel. In the end of the story we are able to deepen our understand- ing of these two ideas. Elinor is intellectual and prudent, but she is affectionate and her feelings are strong. Marianne is emotional and imprudent, but she is also sensible and clever. We should not think of one as superior to the other. Both Elinor and Marianne are more or less endowed with sense and sensibility. Marianne’s behaviour is based on her own feelings, and she often ignores the feelings of other people. Her slightest consideration of circumstances invites ultimately her sufferings. In spite of Elinor’s advice to pay much attention to formal social activities, Marianne will never listen to her and indulges herself in loving a play boy. She was betrayed by the materialist Willoughby, who was engaged to the wealthy Miss Grey. Marianne suffers from his desertion and becomes seriously ill. Through these sufferings she learns to thank the people around her and behave properly. Elinor is always thinking of the feelings of other people and controls her own strong feelings.

The titular character of the novella in particular presents a literary conundrum for critics and readers of Austen. Despite varied and colorful readings, critics have failed to fully resolve the differences between Lady Susan and Austen’s more beloved, maidenly heroines such as Elizabeth Bennet and Anne Elliott.

She is a former editor of Persuasions . “Her inviting you to town is certainly a vast thing in your favour.” Sense and Sensibility 257 3 or 4 families in a Country Village is the very thing to work on. 9 September 1814 I 1788 , holiday in Kent and a dinner with relatives in Sevenoaks, Mr. and Mrs. Austen, Cassandra , and Jane continued on to London where they had been invited to visit Mr. Austen’s sister , Philadelphia Hancock , and her daughter , Eliza de Feuillide , in their lodgings on Orchard Street, in the area of Marylebone that borders Mayfair. Phylly Walter had met the Austens when they dined in Sevenoaks, and writing to her brother James on 23 July 1788, she announced that on that visit she “began an acquaintance with [her ] two fe - male cousins” but that she had not been impressed by her “whimsical and affected” cousin Jane, who was “not at all pretty & very prim” (Le Faye 8 6-88). 1 Cousin Eliza, a spirited and e ffusive letter writer, documents the Austens’ visit to London quite superficially in a letter to Phylly dated 22 August 1788. In one short paragraph , Eliza praises Mr. Austen’s “Looks” and amiability and ends her paragraph enigmatically , or perhaps diplomatically, telling Phylly, “I believe it was your first acquaintance with Cassandra & Jane” (88).

  • Jane Austen's Soldier Brother: the Military Career of Captain Henry Thomas Austen of the Oxfordshire Regiment of Militia, 1793-7801
    Jane Austen's Soldier Brother: The Military Career of Captain Henry Thomas Austen of the Oxfordshire Regiment of Militia, 1793-7801 CLIVE CAPLAN 111 CarletonIslip Avenue, Terrace, Islip Terrace, New York NY 11752-0047 It was February 1793. For just one week Britain had been at war with France. The country was mobilizing; militia regiments were hasten- ing to their posts. This is the story of the Oxfordshire Regiment, and one of its officers-Henry Thomas Austen. On Thursday last the Oxfordshire Regiment of Militia, lately embodied here, marched from hence on their route to Newbery [slc], Berks. Their Military Deportment, and Alacrity for Service, did honour to the County. The whole Regiment manifested an Ardour for opposing and subduing the Enemies of this Country, intemal or extemal. Opposite Christ Church they made a halt, whilst they struck up "God save the King," joined by some thousands of spectators, and accompanied by the Band of the Regiment; after which they resumed their March amidst the Shouts and Acclamations of a vast Concourse of People. (lOl,9Febl793) At this moment Henry Austen was not yet a soldier, but a Fellow at Oxford University. He was to become a soldier and then an army agent, a banker and then a bankrupt, and at last, a clergyman. He would escort his sister Jane on her travels, become her literary agent, and after her death be her first biographer. In this biography his statement that Jane's life "was not by any means a life of event" (NP&P 3) received much attention from critics and unduly influ- enced much later Austenian commentary.

  • Rejecting Richardson's View of the City
    Austen’s Urban Redemption: Rejecting Richardson’s View t of the City :Li CELIA A. EASTON Celia Easton is Associate Professor of English at SUNY Geneseo, where she also currently serves as Associate Dean of Students. Regional Coordinator for JASNA, Rochester, she has published several essays on Jane Austen as well as Samuel Richardson. When William Hogarth brings a country girl to town in the first panel of his Harlot’s Progress, he shows how easily innocence is corrupted by urban seduction and temptation. Samuel Richardson, a friend of Hogarth whose novels morally parallel the artist’s paintings, allows the heroine of Sir Charles Grandison to maintain her moral integrity, but her stay in London hardly begins before she is kidnapped, nearly raped, and spared only by a dra- matic rescue in a plot structure we can call “urban romance.” The urban romance is based on clear-cut moral positions, the unambiguous contrast of good and evil, right and wrong, hero and villain, country and city. Unlike the men whose work she enjoyed and admired, Jane Austen refuses to demonize urban life. She takes her heroines into the city but she trusts their merits to stand up against whatever vices the city has to offer. Although Richardson was a life-long Londoner, the city in his narratives is a place of corruption, obviously for women but just as easily for men. Jane Austen’s writings trans- form Richardson’s in many ways, beginning with narrative technique; but her novels also challenge the moral disdain with which he inflects his cityscapes.

Mª Dolores Herrero Granado Facultad de Filosofía y Letras Grado en Estudios Ingleses 2014 Repositorio de la Universidad de Zaragoza – Zaguan http://zaguan.unizar.es TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 1 Analysis 3 Conclusion 20 27841 Trabajo fin de Grado Patricia Embid Wypysczyk Introduction Jane Austen’s novel Sense and Sensibility —first published in 1811— is a novel that wonderfully illustrates the transition from Neoclassicism to Romanticism. The Neoclassical legacy can be seen, among other things, in the novel’s formal obsession with symmetrical patterns, so often expressed in its constant use and reliance on parallelisms and contrasts. To put it differently, Sense and Sensibility makes use of a technique widely used in eighteenth-century prose, usually labeled as ‘clarification through differentiation’: readers can easily tell right from wrong, since they are systematically confronted with situations and characters that encapsulate very different, if not at times opposite, attitudes and values; the virtues of the hero and the heroine become all the more clear and praiseworthy when the prime antagonists behave in a despicable manner. Similarly, if there are characters that undergo a remarkable evolution throughout the novel, there must also be flat characters who remain the same from beginning to end, which thus allows readers to realize, not only who the main characters are, but also the importance of learning and acquiring maturity through experience and education.
