The Pleasures of Virtue: Political Thought in the Novels of Jane Austen.
SKU: 15078-1
Aristotle and Austen? This sensitive and sometimes humorous analysis argues that Austen's thought was grounded in a broad political and philosophical context, that she valued intelligence and virtue as hand-in-hand and necessary for happiness. Virtue counts more than manners, as we see again and again in her heroes (think of Mr Darcy and Mr Knightley). Scarce. 202 pgs. Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc. Maryland. 1995. Paper.
