Eternally Yours: Jane Austen as Vampire -- 5. Conclusion: An Unlikely Confluence.Jane Austen and Vampires is the first book to investigate the literary convergence of Jane Austen and vampires in Austen fanfic after the success of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight (2005) and Seth Grahame-Smith’s Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2009). It asks how the shifting cultural values of Austen and the vampire have aligned, and what their connection might mean for their respective contemporary legacies. It also makes a case for reading “low brow” Austen fanfic attentively, as a way to gain meaningful insight directly from Austen fans into the tensions and anxieties surrounding contemporary notions of love, sex, femininity, and Austen’s modern currency. Offering close readings of Austen’s vampire-slaying heroines, vampiric retellings of Pride and Prejudice, and the transformation of Austen herself into a vampire, this book reveals Austen-vampire mashups as messy, complex entanglements that creatively and self-reflexively interrogate modern fantasies of vampire romance. By its unique intersection of Jane Austen with the vampire, the Gothic, fan culture and popular romance, Jane Austen and Vampires adds a new chapter to the history of Austen’s reception, for fans, students and scholars alike.Palgrave Gothic,2634-6222FictionGoth culture (Subculture)AudiencesLiterature, Modern20th centuryLiterature, Modern21st centuryAmericaLiteraturesFiction LiteratureGothic StudiesFan and Audience StudiesContemporary LiteratureNorth American LiteratureFiction.Goth culture (Subculture)Audiences.Literature, ModernLiterature, ModernAmericaLiteratures.Fiction Literature.Gothic Studies.Fan and Audience Studies.Contemporary Literature.North American Literature.016.35960973Parisot Eric1586778MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910799493503321Jane Austen and Vampires3873782UNINA
