| Zusammenfassung: | Jane Austen has been read as a novelist of manners, whose work discreetly avoids discussing the physical. John Wiltshire shows, on the contrary, how important are faces and bodies in her texts, from complainers and invalids like Mrs. Bennet and Mr. Woodhouse, to the frail, debilitated Fanny Price, the vulnerable Jane Fairfax and the 'picture of health,' Emma. Talk about health and illness in the novels is abundant, and constitutes community, but it also serves to disguise the operation of social and gender politics. Behind the medical paraphernalia and incidents are serious concerns with the nature of power as exerted through and on the body, and with the manifold meanings of illness. 'Nerves; 'spirits' and sensibility figure largely in these books, and Jane Austen is seen to offer a critique of the gendering power of illness and nursing or attendance upon illness Drawing on modern - medical and feminist - theories of illness and the body, as well as on eighteenth-century medical sources, to illuminate the novels, this book offers new and controversial, but also scholarly, readings of these familiar texts |

| spelling | Wiltshire, John 1941- Verfasser (DE-588)131594281 aut Jane Austen and the body the picture of health John Wiltshire 1. publ. Cambridge u.a. Cambridge Univ. Press 1992 XIII, 251 S. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Jane Austen has been read as a novelist of manners, whose work discreetly avoids discussing the physical. John Wiltshire shows, on the contrary, how important are faces and bodies in her texts, from complainers and invalids like Mrs. Bennet and Mr. Woodhouse, to the frail, debilitated Fanny Price, the vulnerable Jane Fairfax and the 'picture of health,' Emma. Talk about health and illness in the novels is abundant, and constitutes community, but it also serves to disguise the operation of social and gender politics. Behind the medical paraphernalia and incidents are serious concerns with the nature of power as exerted through and on the body, and with the manifold meanings of illness. 'Nerves; 'spirits' and sensibility figure largely in these books, and Jane Austen is seen to offer a critique of the gendering power of illness and nursing or attendance upon illness Drawing on modern - medical and feminist - theories of illness and the body, as well as on eighteenth-century medical sources, to illuminate the novels, this book offers new and controversial, but also scholarly, readings of these familiar texts Austen, Jane <1775-1817> - Et l'anatomie Austen, Jane <1775-1817> - Et la médecine Austen, Jane <1775-1817> Austen, Jane <1775-1817> Knowledge Anatomy Austen, Jane <1775-1817> Knowledge Medicine Austen, Jane 1775-1817 (DE-588)118505173 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1800-1900 Corps humain dans la littérature Gezondheid gtt Menselijk lichaam gtt Médecine dans la littérature Romance ingles larpcal Santé dans la littérature Geschichte Medizin Wissen Attitude to Health Health in literature Human body in literature Literature and medicine England History 19th century Love stories, English History and criticism Medicine in Literature Medicine in literature Women and literature England History 19th century Women's Health Körper (DE-588)4031575-7 gnd rswk-swf Krankheit (DE-588)4032844-2 gnd rswk-swf Körper Motiv (DE-588)4164424-4 gnd rswk-swf Leiblichkeit Motiv (DE-588)4374361-4 gnd rswk-swf Krankheit Motiv (DE-588)4114304-8 gnd rswk-swf Gesundheit Motiv (DE-588)4123287-2 gnd rswk-swf Medizin Motiv (DE-588)4114545-8 gnd rswk-swf Austen, Jane 1775-1817 (DE-588)118505173 p Körper (DE-588)4031575-7 s DE-604 Krankheit (DE-588)4032844-2 s Körper Motiv (DE-588)4164424-4 s Medizin Motiv (DE-588)4114545-8 s Krankheit Motiv (DE-588)4114304-8 s Gesundheit Motiv (DE-588)4123287-2 s Leiblichkeit Motiv (DE-588)4374361-4 s 1\p DE-604 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
