Editorial Reviews

"Drawing on old maps, contemporary drawings and paintings, portraits and other archive material, the excellent Famous Authors series not only presents a factual outline of the writers’ lives, but also conveys a clear visual picture of the social and historical background to their writing. Recommended for all ages." –THE GOOD BOOK GUIDE Generally regarded as the greatest of women novelists, Austen drew from a life that was far from dramatic. The seventh child of a country parson, she spent the bulk of her life within her family circle. An attachment to a clergyman who died before they could become engaged was perhaps the most interesting event in a life filled with domestic duties. She had no contact with the London literary scene. Her works are a stark contrast with her lackluster existence. Austen is distinguished by her satirical wit and brilliant comedy. Her subtle view of human nature and unobtrusive style make for writing that has endured the test of time. Some of her most revered works are Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice and Mansfield Park.
