Jane Austen’s RealismPSYCHOLOGICAL REALISM: The parenthood of not only the English fiction but also the psychological novel goes to Richardson; and his contemporary, Fielding is the first to write a comedy in English fiction with the deliberate intention of rediculing the sentimental morality of Richardson. The Pamela of Richardson becomes Shamela in Fielding. Jane Austen, it seems, has combined the task of her two predecessors by writing a kind of fiction which is psychologically realisti. She selected as it were, the good points of both these writers an eschewed all that they did and she could not do. The Richardsonian atmosphere of “a sick room heated by stoves is as conspicuously absent in her novels as the epic width and waster panorama of life of Fielding. In effect, she achieves perfection in her craft by exploring the psychologica possibilities of the comedy of manners.SENSE OF STAGE-CRAFT AND COMEDY: The realism
