Specificatii
In Jane Austen's works, a name is never just a name. In fact, the
names Austen gives her characters and places are as rich in subtle
meaning as her prose itself. Wiltshire, for example, the home
county of Catherine Morland in Northanger Abbey, is a clue that
this heroine is not as stupid as she seems: according to legend,
cunning Wiltshire residents caught hiding contraband in a pond
capitalized on a reputation for ignorance by claiming they were
digging up a big cheese--the moon's reflection on the water's
surface. It worked. In Jane Austen's Names, Margaret Doody offers a
fascinating and comprehensive study of all the names of people and
places--real and imaginary--in Austen's fiction. Austen's creative
choice of names reveals not only her virtuosic talent for riddles
and puns. Her names also pick up deep stories from English history,
especially the various civil wars, and the blood-tinged differences
that played out in the reign of Henry VIII, a period to which she
often returns. Considering the major novels alongside unfinished
works and juvenilia, Doody shows how Austen's names signal class
tensions as well as regional, ethnic, and religious differences. We
gain a new understanding of Austen's technique of creative
anachronism, which plays with and against her skillfully deployed
realism--in her books, the conflicts of the past swirl into the
tensions of the present, transporting readers beyond the Regency.
Full of insight and surprises for even the most devoted Janeite,
Jane Austen's Names will revolutionize how we read Austen's
fiction.
