The Relationship between Literary Classics and Popular Culture---From the Process of Austen s Novels being Accepted and Spread

The acceptance and communication process of Jane Austen?s novels in the past 200 years provides a typical sample for the study of how to view and treat with classical literature. The value of Austen?s writing has experienced the process of being found, from popular literature to classical literature. In the era of mass consumption culture, as a source text, Austen?s novel was developed from a literal source into a kind of capital in the chain of cultural industry. Though the seriousness and depth of literary classics is being weakened by mass media, literary classics could retain their vitalities through continuous re?constructions, and construct a positive interaction between the classic and popular culture.
