Jane Austen traces the author's life and times, her personal
relationships, the attitudes and customs of the time that shaped
her and were in turn shaped by her work, and the places where she
lived, worked and set her novels, from rural Hampshire to
fashionable Bath Spa. Chapters on each of her novels run throughout
the book and place them in the context of her life. This volume
draws on archives for a truly insightful view of the author,
reproducing rare and fascinating documents from her personal
archives, including early manuscripts, a handwritten note outlining
the profits from her novels, a letter from Jane's father to the
publisher Thomas Cadell, which was returned to the family with the
words 'Rejected by return of post' written on it, and pages from
the unfinished manuscript of Sanditon. For over 200 years, the
novels of Jane Austen have been loved and celebrated across a
diverse international readership. From her playful digs at the
ridiculous to her examination of the strengths and weaknesses of
humanity, she shows an insight into human behaviour, arguably
unparalleled by any other novelist, that is as relevant today as
when her novels were first published.
