The Letters
The Letters – Jane Austen The letters included in this series comprise about three quarters of the collection in two volumes published in 1884 by her great-nephew Lord Brabourne. The lightness, almost friskiness, of their tone cannot fail to strike the reader. Modern letters written by women are filled more or less with hints and […]
Persuasion
Persuasion – Jane Austen This version includes a detailed introductory annotation on how the book and the plot were created. „Persuasion“ represents the ripest development of Jane Austen’s powers, that latest phase of her thoughts and feelings.

Northanger Abbey

Even when he is in harmony with the opinions of Miss Austen’s posterity one feels his […]
