An exploration of the world of the silver fork novels of fashionable society following Jane Austen's death in 1817.
The usual story, that Jane Austen's novels in the twenty years after her death were a taste for the discerning few alone, needs to be brought into line with a more provocative one - that within ten years or so of her death in 1827, the now forgotten silver fork novelists of fashionable society in the 1820s and 1830s were using her novels for wholesale plunder. In effect, Austen's novels had become objects of casual literary assimilation far earlier than traditional report would have it.
