Abstract
Recent research has identified Victorian women’s magazines as a key channel for investigating domestic ideology. From the 1870s to the fin de siècle, women’s periodicals often presented Jane Austen as a publicly acceptable model of the woman writer. This essay focuses on profiles of Austen published in the Englishwoman’s Domestic Magazine, Girl’s Own Paper , and Women’s Penny Paper , investigating how these narratives reiterated and diverged from biographical accounts produced by members of Austen’s family. In these contexts, Austen’s life and works became a point of contention in battles over definitions of female identity.
