Jane Austen and the Enlightenment
Knox-Shaw, Peter (University of Cape Town)
In this radical revision of her engagement with the culture and politics of her age, Knox-Shaw argues that Austen was a writer steeped in the Enlightenment, and that her allegiance to a sceptical tradition within it, shaped by figures such as Adam Smith and David Hume, lasted throughout her career.
