Specificatii
What is the world-historical importance of Jane Austen? An old maid
writes with the detachment of a god. Here, the stigmatized
condition of a spinster; there, a writer's unequalled display of
absolute, impersonal authority. In between, the secret work of
Austen's style: to keep at bay the social doom that would follow if
she ever wrote as the person she is. For no Jane Austen could ever
appear in Jane Austen. Amid happy wives and pathetic old maids, we
see no successfully unmarried woman, and, despite the multitude of
girls seeking to acquire accomplishments, no artist either. What
does appear is a ghostly No One, a narrative voice unmarked by age,
gender, marital status, all the particulars that make a person--and
might make a person peculiar. The Austen heroine must suppress her
wit to become the one and not the other, to become, that is, a
person fit to be tied in a conjugal knot. But for herself, Austen
refuses personhood, with all its constraints and needs, and
disappears into the sourceless anonymity of her style. Though often
treasured for its universality, that style marks the specific
impasse of a writer whose self-representation is impossible without
the prospect of shame. D.A. Miller argues this case not only
through the close reading that Austen's style always demands, but
also through the close writing, the slavish imitation, that it
sometimes inspires.
