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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55092306903414,"sku":"9781517917586","price":10.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_37619173_9da6d6e9-8bbf-4840-a452-c580fb857afa.jpg?v=1762224221","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781517917586-nonbinary-jane-austen","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
