Synopsis: This pioneering collection delves into Jane Austen's enduring legacy in the East, exploring her significance to East-West relations, Westernization, and Asian identities. It enriches Austen studies by integrating Asian viewpoints on feminism, queer theory, postcolonialism, and her reception and adaptations. The essays examine Austen's relevance in contemporary Asia, her historical ties to the region, and diverse Asian responses from the 20th century to recent adaptations. Spanning academic and popular media, it covers translations, critiques, and creative interpretations in various formats. Though not exhaustive, it offers insights from India, Pakistan, China, Taiwan, Korea, and Japan, contributing to a nuanced understanding of Austen's global impact.
