Thesis (M.A.)--McGill University (Canada), 2009.

This MA Thesis is a study of the relationship between Jane Austen's critical views on the novel and her own creative practice as a novelist. The first chapter delineates Austen's novelistic theory using the five letters on fiction that Austen wrote to Anna Lefroy. The second chapter focuses on "Opinions of Mansfield Park" and "Opinions of Emma," examining how Austen's editorial ventriloquism of the opinions reflects her own critical voice. The third chapter shows how Austen modified her reviewers' hints from "Plan of a Novel" to fit within her own novelistic standards in Persuasion. The fourth chapter comprises a comparative reading of the cancelled and published versions of the final chapters of Persuasion, observing the effects of Austen's literary standards on her writing practice. Collectively, these chapters explore the degree to which Austen's theoretical literary standards, and her reflections on the criticisms that her readership made of her own works, inflect her own novelistic technique.
