Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - The family of Dashwood had long been settled in Sussex. Their estate was large, and their residence was at Norland Park, in the centre of their property, where, for many generations, they had lived in so respectable a manner as to engage the general good opinion of their surrounding acquaintance. The late owner of this estate was a single man, who lived to a very advanced age, and who for many years of his life, had a constant companion and housekeeper in his sister. But her death, which happened ten years before his own, produced a great alteration in his home; for to supply her loss, he invited and received into his house the family of his nephew Mr. Henry Dashwood, the legal inheritor of the Norland estate, and the person to whom he intended to bequeath it. In the society of his nephew and niece, and their children, the old Gentleman's days were comfortably spent. His attachment to them all increased. The constant attention of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dashwood to his wishes, which proceeded not merely from interest, but from goodness of heart, gave him every degree of solid comfort which his age could receive; and the cheerfulness of the children added a relish to his existence.

Autorenporträt
Jane Austen (1775-1817) var enskur skáldsagnahöfundur þekktur fyrir skarpa gáfur sínar, skarpa innsýn í mannlegt eðli og tímalausa lýsingu á ást, samfélagi og stétt. Hún skrifaði sex stórar skáldsögur, þar á meðal Sense and Sensibility, Emma og Pride and Prejudice, sem hafa heillað lesendur í meira en tvær aldir. Verk hennar eru fræg fyrir gáfaðar athuganir á samfélagsgerð samtímans og flóknum kvenkyns söguhetjum þeirra. Skáldsögur Austen eru enn á meðal þeirra ástsælustu og mest lesnu á enskri tungu.
