János Barcsák, Márta Pellérdi

English literature 1660-1900

Synthesis: Jane Austen

Lost in Austen, The Jane Austen Book Club, The Real Jane Austen, Becoming Jane are titles of recent films which demonstrate Austen’s popularity in our culture today. The numerous screen adaptations of Jane Austen’s novels, the Jane Austen societies around the world, the long list of biographies that have been written after her death and are still in the process of being written (the next biography to be published by Harper-Collins in 2013) show a constant interest in her life and works. This unprecedented popularity has also led to extensive literary criticism on her novels, and has inspired countless admirers of her fiction to create sequels in the form of short stories or novels.

A history of the English literature is presented here, with a scope on the years 1660 to 1900. The book is written in three main parts; beginning with the Restoration Period of the 17th century, followed by the first, and second halves of the 18th century. Thus, a sequential development of literary genres is presented, with explorations of the key figures and texts which drove these. The book also synthesises the historical, cultural and sociological background which gave rise to this literature, and allows the reader to effectively contextualise these.
