Jane Austen is a mystery. The first incontrovertibly great woman
novelist, she is, among other things, one of the finest prose
stylists in literature; the first truly modern writer, the
Godmother of chick lit. She is also the greatest enigma (next to
Shakespeare) in English literature. Soldiers in the First World War
sat in the trenches and read them for the civilising comforts they
provided. Hard-nut literary critics such as F. R. Leavis lauded
their austere complexity. World Book Day, 2007, found that Pride
and Prejudice was the one book 'The nation can't live without'. In
this witty, accessible guide, Charles Jennings goes in search of
this enigma through her words as well as her times, including a
short biography, an overview of the novels, as well as the world
that she inhabited. Finally, the book contains Jane's very own
words of advice for the modern life.
