9781403969668 / Jane Austen’s Philosophy of the Virtues 2005th Edition
by Palgrave Macmillan; 2005th edition (October 13, 2005) (Author)
This book examines Austen’s novels in relation to her philosophical and religious context, demonstrating that the combination of the classical and theological traditions of the virtues is central to her work. Austen’s heroines learn to confront the fundamental ethical question of how to live their lives. Instead of defining virtue only in the narrow sense of female sexual virtue, Austen opens up questions about a plurality of virtues. In fresh readings of the six completed novels, plus Lady Susan, Emsley shows how Austen’s complex imaginative representations of the tensions among the virtues engage with and expand on classical and Christian ethical thought.
