{"product_id":"jane-austens-art-of-memory-jocelyn-harris-9780521542074","title":"Jane Austen's Art of Memory","description":"Jane Austen's Art of Memory offers a radical new thesis about Jane Austen's construction of her art. It argues that, with the help of her tenacious memory, she engaged in friendly dialogue with her predecessors, the English writers, a process that the eighteenth century called 'imitation'. Her allusions, far from being random, thicken and complicate her novels in a manner that is poetic rather than mimetic. Difficult critical cruxes resolve when her books are set within her own great tradition which included Locke, Richardson, Milton, Shakespeare, and (unexpectedly) Chaucer, and she is found to be an educated and supremely conscious writer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jocelyn Harris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521542073\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521542074\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/28\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.64d","brand":"Jocelyn Harris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43920029483263,"sku":"9780521542074","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_0d8ce081-e7a9-4cc7-ac0b-278b48ea9837.jpg?v=1680813204","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jane-austens-art-of-memory-jocelyn-harris-9780521542074","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
