宅男一族

T here has been much talk in recent years about the end of the book, but the Austen industry appears not to have heard the news. All four of the books under review are published in high-quality hardback editions, with Bharat Tandon’s annotated edition of Emma being the most handsome. Its large size and heavy weight, complemented by thick, wood-textured endpapers, acid-free cream-vellum paper, generous margins and woven bindings (that去掉) suggest an object important in its own right, an object and a form that will not go quietly into the good night.

Holding a book of this size and weight, one is reminded not only of the book as a thing, but also of the important role that things themselves play in books. In literary studies, this has fostered a new method of criticism under the heading of “thing theory”. Taking its cue from(the去掉) anthropology, this practice considers how objects are invested with meanings beyond their material existence

It would be a mistake, however, to read Austen’s fiction as primarily, or even predominantly, about things. In a letter, Austen famously concluded that “three or four families in a country village is the very thing to work on”, and her novels focus not only on the courtship plots that structure her narratives, but also on the manners, the judgement, the subtlety and the tact required to negotiate day-to-day encounters with those whom, like Mrs Elton in Emma, one often loathes but of whom one will likely never be free. They are novels of social evaluation, of minute and careful observation, both of manners and of internal mental processes, novels in which ideas and thoughts matter. As James Wood notes, “Emma is one large mental chamber”. Austen’s works, therefore, are novels in which even seemingly simple words bear multiple resonances, and in this context, Tandon’s notes are superb.
