  Austen's Malleability: Fans

  Adaptations

  and Value Production

  Abstract: Jane Austen's novels are part of an archive that has historically been situated in the tension over the \"right\" way to read a text. Indeed

  her popularity among both recreational and professional readers positions her as a uniquely useful figure to track the divisions between low and high culture

  good and bad reading

  precisely because her reception is famously linked to both sets of practices. This article reads Austen's complicated reception in terms of the affective relationship her readers impose on the texts in order to highlight the many boundaries and terrains her readers occupy: critical vs. popular ways of reading

  affected vs. affecting readerships

  historical vs. fictional models for understanding her value. As Austen fans make these boundaries visible by crossing them

  straddling them

  or dismantling them

  they reveal how tenuous and problematic the parameters constraining literary value really are.
