Book Description
This book examines how the Gothic writing of Ann Radcliffe and the 18th century novels of Fanny Burney helped to shape and hone Jane Austen’s own eighteenth-century literary endeavors where she mastered the parodic-Gothic form and created characters that while uniquely hers, owed a great deal to the late-18th century English milieu.
