Sinopsis	COMPLETE NOVELS OF JANE AUSTEN - LIBRARY COLLECTION Jane Austen is without question, one of England's most enduring and skilled novelists. With her wit, social precision, and unerring ability to create some of literature's most charismatic and believable heroines, she mesmerises her readers as much today as when her novels were first published. Whether it is her sharp, ironic gaze at the Gothic genre invoked by the adventures of Catherine Morland in Northanger Abbey; the diffident and much put-upon Fanny Price struggling to cope with her emotions in Mansfield Park; her delightfully paced comedy of manners and the machinations of the sisters Elinor and Marianne in Sense and Sensibility; the quiet strength of Anne Elliot in Persuasion succeeding in a world designed to subjugate her very existence; Emma - 'a heroine whom no one but myself will like' teased Austen - yet another irresistible character on fire with imagination and foresight; or the efforts of Mrs Bennet in trying to find a good match for each of her five daughters in Pride and Prejudice. Jane Austen is as sure-footed in her steps through society's whirlpools of convention and prosaic mores as she is in her sometimes restrained but ever precise and enduring prose. Also includes Lady Susan, Sanditon and other stories. Our Library Collection hardback series has been completely redesigned, for launch in November 2024. The books are now finished in black, soft-touch linen, cloth bound with metallic gold and matt coloured foil blocking. They come complete with co-ordinated head and tail bands, a silk ribbon marker and coloured spray edges. The pages are sewn, and the end papers are in two colours featuring an exclusive design by Holly Dunn. JANE AUSTEN Jane Austen 1775 - 1817 was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature. Her realism and biting social commentary have gained her historical importance among scholars and critics. Edad recomendada: Adultos. AUSTEN JANE Jane Austen nació el 16 de diciembre de 1775 en Steventon, cerca de Basingstoke, la séptima hija del rector de la parroquia. Vivió con su familia en Steventon hasta que se mudaron a Bath cuando su padre se jubiló en 1801. Después de su muerte en 1805, se mudó con su madre; en 1809 se establecieron en Chawton, cerca de Alton, Hampshire. Aquí permaneció, salvo algunas visitas a Londres, hasta que en mayo de 1817 se trasladó a Winchester para estar cerca de su médico. Allí murió el 18 de julio de 1817. Cuando era niña, Jane Austen escribía cuentos, incluidos burlescos de romances populares. Sus obras sólo se publicaron después de mucha revisión, y se publicaron cuatro novelas durante su vida. Se trata de Sentido y sensibilidad 1811 , Orgullo y prejuicio 1813 , Mansfield Park 1814 y Emma 1816 . Otras dos novelas, Northanger Abbey y Persuasion, se publicaron póstumamente en 1818 con una nota biográfica de su hermano, Henry Austen, el primer anuncio formal de su autoría. Persuasión se escribió en una carrera contra la mala salud en 1815-16. También dejó dos composiciones anteriores, una novela epistolar corta, Lady Susan, y una novela inacabada, The Watsons. En el momento de su muerte, estaba trabajando en una nueva novela, Sanditon, de la que se conserva un borrador fragmentario.
