Jane Austen and the Ethics of Description demonstrates that Elizabeth Bennet and her creator are misunderstood, and often unrecognized, geniuses of moral philosophy, but not simply because of their virtue or wit or natural skills in game theory.

Bourbon asserts that our complex and variable relation with language defines a domain of meaning and being misconstrued and missed in philosophy, in literary studies, and in our ordinary understanding of what we are and how things make sense. He seeks to demonstrate how the study of literature gives us the means to understand this relationship.
