JANE AUSTEN: HER LIFE HER TIMES HER NOVELS

This illustrated guide explores Jane’s personal relationships, the attitudes and customs of her times, and the places where she lived, worked and set her novels, such as rural Hampshire and fashionable Bath. Chapters on each of her novels place them in the context of her life, and the book reproduces rare and fascinating documents including letters, early manuscripts, a handwritten note outlining the profits from her novels, and pages from the unfinished manuscript of Sanditon.
