In her re-examination of Jane Austens Anglicanism, Laura Mooneyham White suggests that engaging with Austens world in all its strangeness and remoteness reveals the novelists intensely different presumptions about the cosmos and human nature. While Austens readers often project postmodern and secular perspectives onto an Austen who reflects their own times and values, White argues that viewing Austens Anglicanism through the lens of primary sources of the period, including the complex history of the Georgian church to which Austen was intimately connected all her life, provides a context for understanding the central conflict between Austens malicious wit and her familys testimony to her Christian piety and kindness. White draws connections between Austens experiences with the clergy, liturgy, doctrine, and religious readings and their fictional parallels in the novels; shows how orthodox Anglican concepts such as natural law and the Great Chain of Being resonate in Austens work; and explores Austens awareness of the moral problems of authorship relative to God as Creator. She concludes by surveying the ontological and moral gulf between the worldview of Emma and Oscar Wildes The Importance of Being Earnest, arguing that the evangelical earnestness of Austens day had become a figure of mockery by the late nineteenth century.
