These three avenues into dialogic space destabilize conventional readings of Austen. The Bakhtinian model that structures this book is not one of linearity and balance but one of conflict, simultaneity, and multiplicity. While some novels fit into only one paradigm, others incorporate more than one; Mansfield Park receives the most attention. A bold and provocative study, General Consent in Jane Austen will be of interest not only to Austen scholars but to scholars of literary theory and dialogism.Consensus (Social sciences) in literatureDialogism (Literary analysis)Consensus (Social sciences) in literature.Dialogism (Literary analysis)823/.7Seeber Barbara Karolina1968-1551836MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791590703321General consent in Jane Austen3811509UNINA
