In response to Prof. Butler on Henry Tilney, written by Carolyn B on January 07, 1998 at 14:29:40

] Marilyn Butler in intro essay to Penguin Classics edition of NA:

Henry is a mysterious, almost allegorical figure, who stands for androgynous ideas*, youthful play, the comic spirit, romance.

] * is this academia run amok??

Yes.
