Instead, Washington argues, Austen leverages the generic restraints of the novel to write a disguised autofiction in which Austen imagines herself as transgender and works to abolish gender exclusivity altogether. In doing so, she establishes a politics that ushers in a future beyond the cisheteronormative binary, one built on plurality and possibility. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Washington\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Minnesota Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Forerunners: Ideas First\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.05h x 5.09w x 0.37d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781517917586","brand":"University of Minnesota Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43244161368201,"sku":"9781517917586","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_4b180abc-d4b1-4ba6-859d-5a0c9399fa49.jpg?v=1735640595","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/nonbinary-jane-austen-9781517917586","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
