Description
An intimate portrait of the two sides of the inimitable Jane Austen: the private life of a decorous and genteel young woman dedicated to family life; and the extraordinary life of an enigmatic author who shied away from the spotlight but illuminated, with her acerbic wit and observation, women's lives ruled by English manners.
Weaving in both historical records and family letters, Aiken Hodge's endearing and affectionate biography of the esteemed author of Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Persuasion aims to unite these two Austens and give a more wholistic view of the great writer who influenced the cannon of English literature.
