If you have ever expected Jane Austen's novels to be dif¿cult to read, the Line Clear Edition is the one for you. Here is Jane Austen's classic novel in Jane Austen's words, made approachable by clear type and a clear layout, modern spelling and modern typography. The innovative chapter titles and contents list, derived from the text, will guide the familiar reader back to favourite passages without revealing the plot to a new reader. The cover image is taken from a Cassini Old Series map, using mapping ¿rst published by the Ordnance Survey between 1828 and 1831 (only a few years after Jane Austen's death), and is reproduced by kind permission of Cassini Publishing Ltd. The front cover is centred on Exeter, the county town of Devon. Barton, where the Dashwoods make their home after quitting Sussex, is stated in the novel to lie four miles north-east of Exeter. One of the eight or more real Bartons in Devon is to be seen to the left of the title block.
