Publisher's Synopsis

The world is all over Austen's novels: what ought to be done, what one ought to say, how one ought to feel. This book situates the disinterested, reflective appeal to moral principle invoked - ironically or otherwise - in Austen's oughts within the history of thought about judgement in the British 18th century.
