Jane Austen, Unabridged takes readers on a journey through the prolific author's life with private letters, unpublished works and facts no one knew about a woman who revolutionized the romance genre.
Jane Austen is arguably one of the best English novelists of our time, known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favorable social standing and economic security. Her works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Her use of biting irony, along with her realism, humor, and social commentary, have long earned her acclaim among critics, scholars, and popular audiences alike.
This memoir of the late English novelists life includes never before seen teenage writings, letters to family members, a lost love and even three of her unpublished works such as Lady Susan, The Watsons and Sandition.
