Capa do Bharat Tandon: Jane Austen and the Morality of Conversation (PDF)

This important study investigates how Austen worked with, and played upon, the cracks and faultlines which time had uncovered in the ideals of polite conversation. In a wide-ranging argument combining intellectual history and literary stylistics, Bharat Tandon explores such activities as flirtation and ventriloquism, in order to show how a form of conversational morality is what Austen’s novels both describe and set out to achieve.
