Jane Austen and the Feminist Influence on 19th Century Fiction Presented By: Mary Claire Leonard

Jane Austen (1775-1817) “It is always incomprehensible to a man that a woman should ever refuse an offer of marriage. A man always imagines a woman to be ready for anybody who asks her.”

“Romantic” Authors Victor Hugo (1802-1885) John Keats (1795-1821) “I have two luxuries to brood over in my walks, your loveliness and the hour of my death. O that I could have possession of them both in the same minute.” -John Keats Edgar Allen Poe (1809-1849)

Realities of the 19th Century Woman

19th Century Novels

Reoccurring Themes and Ideas Domestic Heroine: Woman going through temptations and troubles as she attempts to find emotional and economic order in the middle class. Men in the presence of women (instead of vice versa) Marriage for actual liking of one another - couples are on same intellectual plane - moving up in classes=influence for women - symbol of maturity, not victory of man Women in all classes of society Education for women=personal empowerment Subtle parallels between women and nature -Eco-feminist movement
