Product Information

In an era when novels were often derided as sentimental nonsense, Austen’s fiction was a delicately barbed art, a pin-sharp tool for puncturing the pomposity of Regency life. Elinor's character is one of Augustan detachment, while Marianne, a fervent disciple of the Romantic Age, learns to curb her passionate nature in the interests of survival. A stunning new Clothbound Classics edition of Jane Austen's tantalizing final work - set to be a major Andrew Davies ITV adaptation this autumnWritten in the last months of Austen's life, Sanditon features a glorious cast of hypochondriacs and speculators in a newly established seaside resort, and shows the author contemplating a changing society . As author Ahdaf Soueif comments "Austen’s genius is that you find in her a true reflection of whatever you, at a particular moment, think is reality.

In Jane Austen's first published novel, her portrait of two heroines' parallel experiences of love, loss, and hope offers a powerful analysis of how women were shaped by the claustrophobic society they had to survive. Set in the fictitious village of Highbury, Jane Austen's Emma is the story of a clever, albeit spoilt, woman Emma Woodhouse, who lives with her father.An attractive set published and bound by Riviere, with pleasing colour frontispieces by Charles Edmund Brock, who previously produced the first ever colour-illustrated edition of Austen in 1898 alongside Henry Matthews Brock.
