Mary Waldron presents Jane Austen as a radical innovator. The book looks closely at how Austen confronted the popular novelists of her time, and argues that this challenge changed the form of the novel.
Waldron points to the scepticism about what fiction should contain that appears in family letters and other sources of the period. Austen's novels, she shows, put those doubts into practice.
