Acclaimed biographer Paula Byrne explores the forces that shaped
the interior life of one of the most beloved novelists in the
English language: her father's religious faith; her mother's
aristocratic pedigree; her eldest brother's adoption; her relatives
in the East and West Indies; the family's amateur theatricals; and
her determination throughout her long struggle to become a
published author. The woman who emerges is far tougher, more
socially and politically aware, and altogether more modern than the
conventional picture. Like a superb archaeologist, Byrne uses
artifacts from Jane Austen's life to craft a vivid and more complex
portrait of the writer than we have ever seen.
