Morte a Pemberley (Omnibus) (Italian Edition)
Mansfield Park was published by Egerton in May While Mansfield Park was ignored by reviewers, it was a great success with the public. All copies were sold within six months, and Austen's earnings on this novel were larger than for any of her other novels. Austen learned that the Prince Regent admired her novels and kept a set at each of his residences. In November , the Prince Regent's librarian invited Austen to visit the Prince's London residence and hinted Austen should dedicate the forthcoming Emma to the Prince. Though Austen disliked the Prince, she could scarcely refuse the request.
She later wrote Plan of a Novel, according to hints from various quarters, a satiric outline of the "perfect novel" based on the librarian's many suggestions for a future Austen novel. In mid, Austen moved her work from Egerton to John Murray, a better known London publisher,who published Emma in December and a second edition of Mansfield Park in February Emma sold well but the new edition of Mansfield Park did not, and this failure offset most of the profits Austen earned on Emma. These were the last of Austen's novels to be published during her lifetime.
While Murray prepared Emma for publication, Austen began to write a new novel she titled The Elliots, later published as Persuasion. She completed her first draft in July In addition, shortly after the publication of Emma, Henry Austen repurchased the copyright for Susan from Crosby. Austen was forced to postpone publishing either of these completed novels by family financial troubles.
Henry Austen's bank failed in March , depriving him of all of his assets, leaving him deeply in debt and losing Edward, James, and Frank Austen large sums. Henry and Frank could no longer afford the contributions they had made to support their mother and sisters. Illness and death Early in , Jane Austen began to feel unwell. She ignored her illness at first and continued to work and to participate in the usual round of family activities. By the middle of that year, her decline was unmistakable to Austen and to her family, and Austen's physical condition began a long, slow, and irregular deterioration culminating in her death the following year.
The majority of Austen biographers rely on Dr. Vincent Cope's tentative retrospective diagnosis and list her cause of death as Addison's disease. However, her final illness has also been described as Hodgkin's lymphoma. One contributing factor or cause of her death, discovered by Linda Robinson Walker and described in the Winter issue of Persuasions on-line, might be Brill-Zinsser disease, a recurrent form of typhus, which she had as a child.
Brill-Zinsser disease is to typhus as shingles is to chicken pox; when a victim of typhus endures stress, malnutrition or another infection, typhus can recur as Brill-Zinsser. She became dissatisfied with the ending of The Elliots and rewrote the final two chapters, finishing them on 6 August In January , Austen began work on a new novel she called The Brothers, later titled Sanditon upon its first publication in , and completed twelve chapters before stopping work in mid-March , probably because her illness prevented her from continuing.
Austen made light of her condition to others, describing it as "Bile" and rheumatism, but as her disease progressed she experienced increasing difficulty walking or finding the energy for other activities. By mid-April, Austen was confined to her bed. Austen died in Winchester on 18 July , at the age of Through his clerical connections, Henry arranged for his sister to be buried in the north aisle of the nave of Winchester Cathedral.
The epitaph composed by her brother James praises Austen's personal qualities, expresses hope for her salvation, mentions the "extraordinary endowments of her mind", but does not explicitly mention her achievements as a writer. Henry Austen contributed a Biographical Note which for the first time identified his sister as the author of the novels.
Tomalin describes it as "a loving and polished eulogy". Murray disposed of the remaining copies in , and Austen's novels remained out of print for twelve years. In , publisher Richard Bentley purchased the remaining copyrights to all of Austen's novels and, beginning in either December or January , published them in five illustrated volumes as part of his Standard Novels series.
In October , Bentley published the first collected edition of Austen's works. Since then, Austen's novels have been continuously in print. Although her novels quickly became fashionable among opinion-makers, such as Princess Charlotte Augusta, daughter of the Prince Regent, they received only a few published reviews.
Most of the reviews were short and on balance favourable, although superficial and cautious. They most often focused on the moral lessons of the novels. Sir Walter Scott, a leading novelist of the day, contributed one of them, anonymously. Using the review as a platform from which to defend the then disreputable genre of the novel, he praised Austen's realism. The other important early review of Austen's works was published by Richard Whately in He drew favourable comparisons between Austen and such acknowledged greats as Homer and Shakespeare, praising the dramatic qualities of her narrative.
Whately and Scott set the tone for almost all subsequent 19th-century Austen criticism. Nineteenth century Because Austen's novels failed to conform to Romantic and Victorian expectations that "powerful emotion authenticated by an egregious display of sound and colour in the writing", 19th-century critics and audiences generally preferred the works of Charles Dickens and George Eliot. Though Austen's novels were republished in Britain beginning in the s and remained steady sellers, they were not bestsellers. Austen had many admiring readers in the 19th century who considered themselves part of a literary elite: Philosopher and literary critic George Henry Lewes expressed this viewpoint in a series of enthusiastic articles published in the s and s.
This theme continued later in the century with novelist Henry James, who referred to Austen several times with approval and on one occasion ranked her with Shakespeare, Cervantes, and Henry Fielding as among "the fine painters of life". Author and critic Leslie Stephen described the popular mania that started to develop for Austen in the s as "Austenolatry".
Around the turn of the century, members of the literary elite reacted against the popularization of Austen. They referred to themselves as Janeites in order to distinguish themselves from the masses who did not properly understand her works. For example, James responded negatively to what he described as "a beguiled infatuation" with Austen, a rising tide of public interest that exceeded Austen's "intrinsic merit and interest".
During the last quarter of the 19th century, the first books of criticism on Austen were published. In fact, after the publication of the Memoir, more criticism was published on Austen in two years than had appeared in the previous fifty. Twentieth century and beyond Several important works paved the way for Austen's novels to become a focus of academic study.
The first important milestone was a essay by Oxford Shakespearean scholar A. Bradley, which is "generally regarded as the starting-point for the serious academic approach to Jane Austen". In it, he established the groupings of Austen's "early" and "late" novels, which are still used by scholars today. The second was R. Chapman's edition of Austen's collected works.
Not only was it the first scholarly edition of Austen's works, it was also the first scholarly edition of any English novelist. The Chapman text has remained the basis for all subsequent published editions of Austen's works. Lascelles's innovative work included an analysis of the books Jane Austen read and the effect of her reading on her work, an extended analysis of Austen's style, and her "narrative art". At the time, concern arose over the fact that academics were taking over Austen criticism and it was becoming increasingly esoteric In a spurt of revisionist views in the s, scholars approached Austen more sceptically and argued that she was a subversive writer.
These revisionist views, together with F. Leavis's and Ian Watt's pronouncement that Austen was one of the great writers of English fiction, did much to cement Austen's reputation amongst academics. They agreed that she "combined Henry Fielding's and Samuel Richardson's qualities of interiority and irony, realism and satire to form an author superior to both". The period since World War II has seen more scholarship on Austen using a diversity of critical approaches, including feminist theory, and perhaps most controversially, postcolonial theory.
However, the continuing disconnection between the popular appreciation of Austen, particularly by modern Janeites, and the academic appreciation of Austen has widened considerably. Sequels, prequels, and adaptations of almost every sort have been based on the novels of Jane Austen, from soft-core pornography to fantasy. Beginning in the middle of the nineteenth century, Austen family members published conclusions to her incomplete novels, and by there were over printed adaptations. BBC television dramatisations, which were first produced in the s, attempted to adhere meticulously to Austen's plots, characterisations, and settings.
Books and scripts that use the general storyline of Austen's novels but change or otherwise modernise the story also became popular at the end of the twentieth century. For example, Clueless , Amy Heckerling's updated version of Emma , which takes place in Beverly Hills, became a cultural phenomenon and spawned its own television series. Clifford The Beautifull Cassandra. The original is unsigned but was believed by the family to have been made by Cassandra and remained in the family with the one signed sketch by Cassandra until The original sketch, according to relatives who knew Jane Austen well, was not a good likeness.
These included the original versions of and revisions to the novels later published as Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice and Northanger Abbey, and a novel fragment, The Watsons. Oliver MacDonagh says that Sense and Sensibility "may well be the first English realistic novel" based on its detailed and accurate portrayal of what he calls "getting and spending" in an English gentry family. All of Jane Austen's novels except Pride and Prejudice were published "on commission", that is, at the author's financial risk.
When publishing on commission, publishers would advance the costs of publication, repay themselves as books were sold and then charge a commission for each book sold, paying the rest to the author. If a novel did not recover its costs through sales, the author was responsible for them.
Jane Austen's novels were published in larger editions than was normal for this period. The small size of the novel-reading public and the large costs associated with hand production particularly the cost of hand-made paper meant that most novels were published in editions of copies or less, in order to reduce the risks to the publisher and the novelist.
Even some of the most successful titles during this period were issued in editions of not more than or copies and later reprinted if demand continued. Austen's novels were published in larger editions, ranging from about copies of Sense and Sensibility to about 2, copies of Emma. It is not clear whether the decision to print more copies than usual of Jane Austen's novels was driven by the publishers or the author. Since all but one of Jane Austen's books were originally published "on commission", the risks of overproduction were largely hers or Cassandra's after her death and publishers may have been more willing to produce larger editions than was normal practice when their own funds were at risk.
Editions of popular works of non-fiction were often much larger. The Prince Regent's admiration was by no means reciprocated, however. In a letter of 16 February to her friend Martha Lloyd, Austen says referring to the Prince's wife, whom he treated notoriously badly "I hate her Husband".
Murray's Letter is come; he is a Rogue of course, but a civil one. Addison's disease was often a secondary effect of tuberculosis or cancer. Claire Tomalin prefers a diagnosis of a lymphoma such as Hodgkin's disease, arguing that Austen's known symptoms are more consistent with a lymphoma than with Addison's disease. There is at the front of the book a list of religions, the majority, apart from Judaism, Christianity and Islam are Eastern.
