Brimley Johnson.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohnson's study, made with particular reference to the unpublished epistolary novel, \u003cem\u003eLove and Friendship\u003c\/em\u003e, seeks to redress the balance of contemporary criticism of Austen, challenging the established links between Austen and Nineteenth Century realism, and suggesting instead that her work owes a great deal to the conventions of romance. He also demonstrates how her art transformed from the parody of \u003cem\u003eNothanger Abbey\u003c\/em\u003e to the portraiture of the later novels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLéonie Villard's ambitious work analyses a variety of topics relating to Austen's work, including women and marriage, psychology, satire, the gentry and the lasting value and scope of the novels.
