Economic and Symbolic Transmissions in Women’s Novels: Frances Burney, Jane Austen, Elizabeth Gaskell

Marie-Laure Massei-Chamayou

Abstrak

In A Room of One’s Own (1929), Virginia Woolf traces a fascinating genealogy of women writers from Aphra Behn to George Eliot, including Frances Burney and Jane Austen among others, to emphasize the power of influence in relation to their engagement with both fiction and economics. At the crossroads between economic and symbolic transmissions, this paper seeks to highlight the evolving representations of women’s complex relationships to inheritance by focusing on a few emblematic novels, whose plots crystallize major economic and social changes—namely Burney’s Cecilia (1782), Austen’s Sense and Sensibility (1811), and Gaskell’s North and South (1854‒55).
