Here, republished for the first time, are the complete first
edition texts of Jane Austen's much-loved classic master-pieces. A
rare and inaccessible resource for most scholars, the first
editions are unique documents in the history of English literature.
Other subsequent editions of the novels were corrected, some by
Jane Austen herself, and many spellings and much punctuation
changed. The first editions are now so scarce and valuable that
they are only available to a few scholars in major university
collections. The first edition text of The Memoir by Austen's
nephew includes engravings which were suppressed in subsequent
printings. Lord Brabourne's editions of the first collected
selection of Jane Austen's letters to her sister Cassandra and
others also contains interesting illustrations not repeated in the
few subsequent texts to be reprinted. This set of Austen's complete
novels, her Memoir and Letters is an invaluable source for the
scholar or enthusiast, now able to experience these classic texts
in their original form.
