书名: Jane Austen and Religion: Salvation and Society in Georgian England
作者: Michael Giffin (Author)
出版社: Palgrave Macmillan (September 6, 2002)

ISBN-13: 978-0333948088
Book Description
Michael Giffin offers a reading of Austen's six published novels against the background of a 'long 18th century' that stretched from the Restoration to the Regency. He demonstrates that Austen is a neoclassical author of the enlightenment who writes through the twin prisms of British Empiricism and Georgian Anglicanism. Giffin's focus is on how Austen's novels mirror a belief in natural law and natural order and how they reflect John Locke's theory of knowledge through reason, revelation, and reflection on experience.
Review
"...original and enlightening..." -- Laura Mooneyham White, JASNA News
