Perhaps the first modern novelist, Jane Austen (1775-1817) has left
an indelible mark on the world of letters. She is best known as the
author of penetrating studies of domestic life and manners, and her
novels such as Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice
(1813), and Mansfield Park (1814) continue to be read and
appreciated today. Yet Austen also wrote numerous other pieces and
a substantial body of letters. While her novels have received large
amounts of critical attention, scholars have also increasingly
studied her other writings, and Austen scholarship continues to
grow each year. This reference book is an accurate, comprehensive,
and detailed guide to her life and career. A chronology outlines
the principal events in her life and places her within larger
literary and historical contexts. The several hundred
alphabetically arranged entries that follow identify characters and
family members, discuss works and themes, and synthesize the large
body of criticism that has grown around her works. Every one of her
texts, including all of her minor writings, has a separate entry,
as have most of her fictional characters. Entries for individual
works typically provide details of composition and publication, a
plot summary and critical commentary, a list of characters, and
bibliographical references. The volume closes with an extensive
bibliography of works by and about her.
