Quotes by Tony Tanner (?)

“...one of the governing impulses in any society is, and must be, a terror of indistinctness.”
― Tony Tanner, Adultery in the Novel: Contract and Transgression

“Jane Austen's profound concern with good manners was thus not simply a reflection of a cloistered gentility: it was a form of politics -- an involvement with a widespread attempt to save the nation by correcting, monitoring, and elevating its morals.”
― Tony Tanner, Jane Austen

“We quickly notice how very few metaphors Jane Austen uses...we can see that Jane Austen's works do seem to aim at establishing ' a single world of discourse' and that she is not at all concerned to 'join a plurality of worlds'. Such a 'plurality' could lead to a potentially uncontrollable proliferation of ambiguities and possible meanings, whereas the drive of her writing seems to aim at a 'single' sense ... Jane Austen aims at a total transparency...”
― Tony Tanner, Jane Austen
