Short description:
Examining a wide range of Austen texts, from her unpublished works through masterpieces like Mansfield Park and Emma, Morini combines linguistic theory, especially pragmatics, with literary interpretation and appreciation to trace the creation and development of Austen's narrative techniques. He discusses familiar Austen themes, shedding fresh light on the question of point of view in Austen and on Austen's much-admired brilliance in creating lively and plausible dialogue.
MoreLong description:
Combining linguistic theory with analytical concepts and literary interpretation and appreciation, Jane Austen's Narrative Techniques traces the creation and development of Austen's narrative techniques. Massimiliano Morini employs the tools developed by post-war linguistics and above all pragmatics, the study of the ways in which speakers communicate meaning, since Austen's 'wordings' can only be interpreted within the fictional context of character-character, narrator-character, narrator-reader interaction. Examining a wide range of Austen texts, from her unpublished works through masterpieces like Mansfield Park and Emma, Morini discusses familiar Austen themes, using linguistic means to shed fresh light on the question of point of view in Austen and on Austen's much-admired brilliance in creating lively and plausible dialogue. Accessibly written and informed by the latest work in linguistic and literary studies, Jane Austen's Narrative Techniques offers Austen specialists a new avenue for understanding her narrative techniques and serves as a case study for scholars and students of pragmatics and applied linguistics.
'Moroni's interest is not in presenting another soon-to-be-contested reading of Austen but in mapping the indeterminacy of her narrative style. Ideologies are at war in Austen's narrative, he admits, but "Austen's 'chameleonic' ability" makes it "close to impossible... to separate winners and the losers." This study will not stop others from trying to do so, but it does a good job explaining why no one, so far, has had the last word.' JASNA News
