Discussing the relative absence of cricket in the work of Jane Austen
Dr Conrad Brunstorm,National University of Ireland, will consider the local and familial significance of cricket within Jane Austen's Hampshire upbringing, as well as the unusual fact that cricket is so fleetingly referenced in her fiction and surviving correspondence. This lecture regards this narrative absence of cricket as more tantalising than accidental, and will consider ways in which the game may have structurally influenced Austen's narrative technique, culminating in a cricket inflected reading of 'Emma'.
