This article argues that the novel transforms itself from a potentially dangerous, habit-forming commodity into a respectable and safe cultural product during the period of its “commercial” rise by presenting proper habits and daily routines as its contents. The first section briefly discusses cultural and philosophical implications of “habit” in eighteenth-century Britain, and the following section examines the novel’s commercial success that allowed novel-reading to become a widely accepted, popular habit. The third and final section analyses Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey to see how Austen responds to the anxieties posed by her comtemporary critics regarding the power of the novel as a habitualized commodity. Austen’s deliberate and meticulous adherence to the details of daily routines, which Sir. Walter Scott terms “the common walks of life” in his reading of Austen’s novels, can be understood as an attempt to reinforce the novel genre's appeal as a safe cultural product for domestic entertainment.
Abstract
This article argues that the novel transforms itself from a potentially dangerous, habit-forming commodity into a respectable and safe cultural product during the period of its “commercial” rise by presenting proper habits and daily routines as its contents. The first section briefly discusses cultural and philosophical implications of “habit” in eighteenth-century Britain, and the following section examines the novel’s commercial success that allowed novel-reading to become a widely accepted, popular habit. The third and final section analyses Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey to see how Austen responds to the anxieties posed by her comtemporary critics regarding the power of the novel as a habitualized commodity. Austen’s deliberate and meticulous adherence to the details of daily routines, which Sir. Walter Scott terms “the common walks of life” in his reading of Austen’s novels, can be understood as an attempt to reinforce the novel genre's appeal as a safe cultural product for domestic entertainment.
