Emma: Picnicking on Box Hill « Jane Austen's World.
They had a very fine day for Box Hill … Nothing was wanting but to be happy when they got there.
Seven miles were travelled in expectation of enjoyment, and every body had a burst of admiration on first arriving…Jane Austen, Emma One of the most famous scenes in Emma is the picnic scene on Box Hill. Picnics were becoming increasingly popular at the turn of the nineteenth century, when romantic sensibility influenced the trend of eating out of doors as a way to commune with nature. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term picnic originally meant “A fashionable social entertainment in which each person present contributed a share of the provisions; now, A pleasure party including an excursion to some spot in the country where all partake of a repast out of doors: the participants may bring with them individually the viands and means of entertainment, or the whole may be provided by some one who ‘gives the picnic’ The Box Hill scene in Emma is pivotal.
Reviews. Jane Austen and the Enlightenment Peter Knox-Shaw Cambridge University Press, 2004. $59.25, 275 pp.
ISBN 0 521 84346 4. Reviewed by Caroline Bertonèche Because she was so keen on portraying social truths and respecting fictional authenticity, Jane Austen feared all sorts of false representations. Her taste for the “observable” [9] and her “passion for accuracy” [22], says Peter Knox-Shaw, are here to remind us that nothing in Austen’s body of work has been written without a sense of vision or reason; hence the critic’s desire to restore her various conceptions of the novel to their proper historical rank. For Austen’s unrivalled virtues are no other than simplicity and directness, at odds with baroque mannerisms or “over-ornamental” inclinations: Jane Austen herself displays a love of ease and simple elegance in writing that gives her a conspicuous place among the proponents of the natural style.
Jane Austen. Jane and her sister followed lives not unlike many other young girls of their station.
They made many excursions, both on foot and on horseback. They played instruments and sang, sketched drawings, and graciously entertained those who came to call. Like most girls of their time, they engaged in much needlework and embroidery, accepting their role as the seamstresses of the household. They supervised many a cooked meal in the kitchen, went into town to visit the poorer villagers and attended church services on Sundays. Yet above all other activities and interests, Jane loved to dance. When Cassandra was in her mid-to-early twenties, she became engaged to one of her father’s pupils, Thomas Fowle. The life of an old maid was not one to which any young girl aspired. By the time Jane was twenty-three years old, she had already written the manuscripts for four complete novels: Lady Susan, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Northanger Abbey.

Mais je ne suis pas dupe! Personne ne conteste que Jane Austen est une romancière réaliste, certes, mais je pense que la question n'en demeure pas moins complexe : c'est ce que fait apparaître la comparaison de l'oeuvre de Jane Austen avec celle de Balzac (merci, Miss Acacia!) Jane Austen est considérée comme la première grande romancière anglaise : il y a eu d'autres romancier(e)s avant elle, mais elle a à ce point perfectionné la forme romanesque qui lui préexistait qu'elle a éclipsé ses prédecesseurs dans l'histoire littéraire. Là où ça devient intéressant, c'est que Balzac occupe peu ou prou la même place en France, dans la mesure où il a modifié en profondeur la forme romanesque en y introduisant une forme de réalisme jusque là quasi-absente des romans classiques.

Jane Austen, born at the Rectory, Steventon, Hampshire, December 16th, 1775.
Published four stories anonymously during her lifetime, viz., "Sense and Sensibility," 1811; "Pride and Prejudice," 1813; " Mansfield Park," 1814; "Emma," 1816. Died July 18th, 1817, at Winchester. "Northanger Abbey" and "Persuasion" were published in 1818, when her authorship of the whole six novels was first acknowledged. JANE AUSTEN stands for so much in the development of English fiction that the nature of her genius and influence demands careful consideration. "Pride and Prejudice " was written when she was only one-and-twenty; her last book, "Sense and Sensibility," in 1797-8. It has often been said that an original writer has to create the taste by which he is appreciated; it may be remembered also that the original writer often unconsciously discerns an altered or a new taste in the public before the public itself is quite aware of the change.
