Dr. Jocelyn Harris is emerita professor of the University of Otago, New Zealand, and Honorary Consul for France in Dunedin. According to
Professor Harris herself, "Tears dropped on a manuscript letter, making the ink run, inspired me to begin a lifetime of research on Samuel Richardson, then on Jane Austen, his most acute as well as his most appreciative reader." In 1972 Professor Harris published her edition of Sir Charles Grandison (OUP, repr. University of
Otago), while in 1989, she showed how Austen critiques, appropriates, and recreates Richardson, Locke, Chaucer, Milton, Shakespeare, and many others, in Jane Austen's Art of Memory (CUP, repr. 2004).
