Pro mnoho čtenářů je Austenová nejtypičtější anglickou spisovatelkou. Kniha zkoumá dějiny této identifikace Austenové s angličanstvím a poukazuje na to, že kulturní ikonu z ní udělaly především formální kvality jejích děl a její pokrokové literární techniky. Autor analyzuje způsoby, jimiž vytváří osobnosti svých literárních postav, používání komických struktur, balancování na hraně mezi realistickým románem a pastorální romancí nebo též důmyslné využívání volné nepřímé řeči. Kniha je určena zájemcům o literaturu, anglickou kulturu a především pak čtenářům románů Jane Austenové.
Einführung in die Geschichte und Theorie eines Begriffs
Die 1990er Jahre erlebten die Karriere des Begriffs Rassismus zu einem inflationär gebrauchten Schlagwort. Zugleich aber scheint – jenseits des moralischen Vorwurfs – oftmals unklar zu bleiben, was im Einzelnen darunter zu verstehen sei. Um dieses Geflecht von Bedeutungen zu entwirren, geht Robert Miles in seinem Grundlagenwerk der Rassismustheorie den unterschiedlichen Verwendungsweisen des Rassismus-Begriffs nach und beleuchtet dabei gleichermaßen historische wie theoretische Aspekte. Seine akribische und materialreiche Studie stellt bis heute einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Begriffsgeschichte und eine gelungene Einführung in ein von heftigen Diskussionen geprägtes Problemfeld dar.
