This book presents Austen as a novelist who put her distinctive voice and extraordinary imagination to the service of a question poets and philosophers have asked for millennia: what does it mean for a human being to be free? The study explores Austen's account of liberty understood as self-governance and suggests interior liberty as the necessary prerequisite for political liberty.
