In the series Language, Discourse, Society edited by Stephen Heath, Colin MacCabe and Denise Riley. A Senior Lecturer at the University of Exeter, Tauchert also published a book on Mary Wollstonecraft. She describes her two books as revising both Wollstonecraft and Austen by showing their "engagement with contemporary critical questions concerning femininity, subjectivity, and writing." Tauchert shows how Austen's six novels move between realism and romance, while culminating in happy endings that defy the odds. As she evaluates each novel, she offers insight into many of the questions we have about Austen: how Austen is read as both liberating and conservative, for one. Palgrave. 2005. Hb, Dj.
