Captain Wentworth’s letter to Anne Elliot | Jane Austen’s Persuasion, writing style, & phonocentrism

Literary analysis of a device of Jane Austen’s writing style, which she uses in both the novel Persuasion (notably in Captain Wentworth’s letter to Anne Elliot) and in her own letters: phonocentrism & photocentric language. Many people adore the ‘realness’ & ‘authenticity’ of Jane Austen’s writing style - in the lecture, I analyse one way that Jane Austen constructs artificial ‘realness’ & ‘authenticity’, which is to assume phonocentricity.

OUTLINE
- Definition & explanation of phonocentrism & phonocentric language
- Analysis of Jane Austen’s use of phonocentric textual construction in her own letters to Cassandra
- Examination of an example of how Jane Austen depicts phonocentrism in her novels: Captain Wentworth’s beautiful love-letter to Anne Elliot at the end of the novel Persuasion (incl. analysis of the cancelled chapters of Persuasion).
