JASNA South Central Texas

This discussion examines the mingling of free-indirect discourse and authorial intrusion to consider Austen’s own role within the novel, with primary focus on Northanger Abbey. She considers the relationship between reader, writer, and novelist herself to attempt to define the “Quixotic Writer” by examining Austen’s style as a writer and her own relationship to reading. Furthermore, she contemplates how these modes of identification appear in “fan studies” today.

Jazmine Casas is a second year Ph.D student at the University of Texas at Austin, where her area of study includes film and the long 19th-century British novel, primarily under the lenses of Women’s and Gender Studies.
