Book synopsis

This book explores what it means to read the six major works of Jane Austen in light of the ten major works of fiction by Charlotte Smith. It proposes that Smith had a deep and lasting impact on Austen, but this is not an influence study. Instead, it argues for the possibility that two authors who never met could between them write something into being, both responding to and creating a novelistic zeitgeist. This, I argue, can be called co-writing. Each chapter explores the authors' approach to writing by concentrating thematics. Chapter 1 concentrates on Smith's Emmeline as a model Austen takes up. Subsequent chapters focus on manner, mode, and mood . This book will appeal to students and scholars of the novel, of women's writing, and of Smith and Austen specifically.
