Jane Austen: A Family Record, Paperback / softback Book

Jane Austen: A Family Record Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

This book is the outcome of years of research in Austen archives, and stems from the original family biography by W. and R. A. Austen-Leigh, Jane Austen: her Life and Letters. Jane Austen, A Family Record was first published in 1989, and this edition incorporates information that has come to light since then, and provides new illustrations and updated family trees.

Le Faye gives a detailed account of Austen's life and literary career.

She has collected together documented facts as well as the traditions concerning the novelist, and places her within the context of a widespread, affectionate and talented family group.

Readers will learn how Austen transformed the stuff of her peaceful life in the Hampshire countryside into six novels that are amongst the most popular in the English language.

This fascinating record of Austen and her family will be of great interest to general readers and scholars alike.
