Reading Austen in America / Juliette Wells. by Wells, Juliette, 1977- Bloomsbury Academic, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, c2017. Call #: 823.7 W454r Subjects Austen, Jane, 1775-1817 -- Influence.   Austen, Jane, 1775-1817 -- Appreciation.   Austen, Jane, 1775-1817 -- Books and reading.   Austen, Jane, 1775-1817 -- Criticism and interpretation -- United States.   Authors and readers -- United States. ISBN:  9781350012042 (pbk.) Description:  viii, 239 p. : ill. ; 23 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "'Reading Austen in America' presents a colorful, compelling account of how an appreciative audience for Austen's novels originated and developed in America, and how American readers contributed to the rise of Austen's international fame. Drawing on a range of sources that have never before come to light, Juliette Wells solves the long-standing bibiliographical mystery of how and why the first Austen novel printed in America -- the 1816 Philadelphia 'Emma' --came to be. She reveals the responses of this book's varied readers and creates and extended portrait of one: Christian, Countess of Dalhousie, a Scotswoman living in British North America. Through original archival research, Wells establishes the significance to reception history of two transatlantic friendships: the first between ardent Austen enthusiasts in Boston and members of Austen's family in the nineteenth centrry, and the second between an Austen collector in Baltimore and an aspiring bibiographer in Engalnd in the twentieth." --Back cover.
