Analysis of Jane Austen’s playful poem Ode to Pity (1793), in Volume the First from Austen’s Juvenilia, focusing on allusions to earlier 18th century poetry (especially by William Collins, Joseph Warton, & Thomas Gray).

In the lecture I analyse poetry allusions in Jane Austen’s early writing (her poem Ode to Pity) showing ways that Jane Austen pokes fun at literary conventions (much in the same way as she does in her later novels, such as in the characters of Marianne Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility & Catherine Morland in Northanger Abbey). I examine the melancholic pastoral conventions of 18th century poetry, much of which would go on to inspire the sorrowful, gloomy, pitiful imagery that dominated the popular Gothic fiction & sentimental novels of the late 18th century.
