JANE AUSTEN: A CELEBRATION OF HER LIFE AND WORK

Book ID/图书代码： 14630013B60051

English Summary/英文概要： In 1811 a novel by the name of Sense and Sen­si­bil­ity was pub­lished by an anony­mous lady author, an event that marked the start of a remark­able story. Two cen­turies later Jane Austen is cer­tainly no longer anony­mous, and is now undoubt­edly one of the best loved Eng­lish nov­el­ists. Thanks to her sharp satir­i­cal style and com­pelling char­ac­ters, Austen’s six nov­els have been trans­lated into lan­guages across the globe, and film and tele­vi­sion adap­ta­tion have won the hearts of gen­er­a­tion after generation.

To cel­e­brate Austen’s extra­or­di­nary career, this book brings together every­thing that makes Austen’s work some of the best loved in his­tory. In addi­tion to detailed appraisals of each of the nov­els it includes sec­tions on Austen’s fam­ily, homes, life and char­ac­ter, and a look into just why we find Austen so appeal­ing in a mod­ern world.

Lau­ren Nixon’s book cov­ers the his­tor­i­cal period Austen inhab­ited and its influ­ence on her cre­ations. Cen­tral to the nov­els are the courtships that have cap­tured so many imag­i­na­tions. Writ­ten in an infor­ma­tive and acces­si­ble style, this book will appeal to those who study Austen’s work as well as those who have been intro­duced to her by the highly acclaimed film and tele­vi­sion adap­ta­tions of her novels.
