- Summary:
- Jane Austen enjoyed and was greatly interested in the theater. Many of her novels, with their memorable individual characters, dramatic confrontations and surprising denouements, owe part of their effect to theatrical inspiration. The dramatic impact of her novels is demonstrated by the ease with which they have been adapted for television and film. In Jane Austen and the Theatre, Paula Byrne makes clear the important part the theater played in both Jane Austen's life and work.
