Resumo: This dissertation aims to, through the analysis of the six mature novels of English writer Jane Austen (1775-1817), show how the author criticized the situation of women in her society in scenes where female characters deal with conventions that restrict their mobility solely on the basis of their gender. Jane Austen enjoys immense popularity today, but often the focus on her work is limited to the themes of courtship and marriage around which her plots revolve, leaving aside the author s participation in the political debates occurring in England during her lifetime. Austen, through her fiction, not only took part in these debates but, avoiding radicalisms and using ambiguities and subtleties that were necessary for her acceptance by the reading public of that age, defended greater liberty for women and denounced the condition of dependence in which they found themselves, a dependence that was not only economic and legal, but also physical, since they did not even have the freedom to go wherever they wished without breaking the socially accepted rules of conduct

Jane Austen goza de imensa popularidade nos dias de hoje, mas muitas vezes o foco sobre sua obra se limita aos temas de corte e casamento em torno dos quais as tramas giram, deixando de lado o engajamento da autora nos debates políticos ocorridos na Inglaterra ao longo de sua vida. Austen, através de sua ficção, não apenas participou desses debates como, evitando radicalismos e utilizando-se de ambiguidades e sutilezas necessárias para sua aceitação pelo público leitor da época, defendeu maior liberdade para as mulheres e denunciou a condição de dependência em que elas se encontravam, dependência não só econômica e legal, como também física, já que não podiam sequer ir para onde desejassem sem ferir normas de conduta socialmente aceitasSubmitted by Boris Flegr (boris@uerj.br) on 2021-01-05T15:15:03Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Julia Seixas Romeu_Dissertacao.pdf: 406634 bytes, checksum: 51e2d08ee54c0fd4be75a88a6d41b757 (MD5)Made available in DSpace on 2021-01-05T15:15:03Z (GMT).
