Abstract
“Jane Austen and the Civilized Woman: Moral Development and Gender” examines Austen’s juvenilia as well as her six completed novels, and explores the interconnections among theories of (Western) civilization and gender, such as those discussed in the long-eighteenth century and in recent times. Critics have more often than not perceived Austen as the archetypal author of civil society and romance, concluding that her attention to propriety and courtship impairs her heroines’ moral independence and establishes them as “proper ladies”.
