Expanding Austenland

The Pride and Prejudice Fanfiction Archive

About this book

Expanding Austenland: The Pride and Prejudice Fanfiction Archive explores Jane Austen's reception in popular culture through an exploration of the ever-expanding terrain of online fanfiction, professionally published (profic) texts, and other intertextual reworkings inspired by the author's most popular novel, Pride and Prejudice. The book argues that given its pervasiveness, Pride and Prejudice could be usefully considered not as a single novel, but as an entire 'archive' of interrelated texts, or as a portal that opens a 'virtual world' for readers to expand and explore. By examining the Pride and Prejudice archive of interrelated texts, this book analyses the process through which an individual novel can develop a virtual life, or afterlife. The evolving world that is opened by Pride and Prejudice, and extended and enriched through fanfiction, is conceptualised in the monograph as 'Austenland'.
