In this radical revision of her engagement with the culture and politics of her age, Peter Knox-Shaw argues that Austen was a writer steeped in the Enlightenment, and that her allegiance to a sceptical tradition within it, shaped by figures such as Adam Smith and David Hume, lasted throughout her career. Knox-Shaw draws on archival and other neglected sources to reconstruct the intellectual atmosphere of the Steventon Rectory where Austen wrote her juvenilia, and follows the course of her work through the 1790s and onwards, showing how minutely responsive it was to the many shifting movements of those turbulent years. Jane Austen and the Enlightenment is an important contribution to the study both of Jane Austen and of intellectual history at the turn of the nineteenth century. 517 3 $aJane Austen & the Enlightenment 606 $aLiterature and society$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aEnlightenment$zGreat Britain 606 $aSkepticism in literature 607 $aGreat Britain$xIntellectual life$y18th century 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aEnlightenment 615 0$aSkepticism in literature. 676 $a823/.7 700 $aKnox-Shaw$b Peter$f1944-$01678735 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824961803321 996 $aJane Austen and the Enlightenment$94046571 997 $aUNINA
