Produktbeschreibung

A collection of juvenile writings, including: Love and Friendship (sic), Lesley Castle, The History of England, Collection of Letters, and Scraps. According to Wikipedia: "Jane Austen (1775 - 1817) was an English novelist whose realism, biting social commentary and masterful use of free indirect speech, burlesque and irony have earned her a place as one of the most widely read and most beloved writers in English literature. Austen lived her entire life as part of a small and close-knit family located on the lower fringes of English gentry. She was educated primarily by her father and older brothers as well as through her own reading. The steadfast support of her family was critical to Austen's development as a professional writer. Austen's artistic apprenticeship lasted from her teenage years until she was about thirty-five years old. During this period, she experimented with various literary forms, including the epistolary novel which she tried and then abandoned, and wrote and extensively revised three major novels and began a fourth. From 1811 until 1815, with the release of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1815), she achieved success as a published writer. She wrote two additional novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, both published after her death in 1817, and began a third, which was eventually titled Sanditon, but died before completing it."

Autorenporträt

Consagrada como uma das maiores romancistas da literatura inglesa do século XIX, Jane Austen, a autora de Orgulho e Preconceito, tinha apenas 21 anos quando escreveu esta história, em 1797. No entanto, o livro só foi publicado em 1813, em razão do sucesso de sua primeira obra, intitulada Razão e Sensibilidade. Austen é considerada pioneira no enfoque do papel da mulher na sociedade em uma época em que as leis referentes à herança beneficiavam apenas os homens. À mulher restava o caminho do casamento. Jane Austen nasceu em Steventon, na zona rural da Inglaterra, em 1775. Era filha de um pastor da igreja anglicana, sendo que recebeu esmerada educação. Morreu em 1817, em Winchester. Suas criações literárias se destacam pela narrativa elegante, bem como pela ironia e pelos diálogos afiados e expressivos, características que têm atraído legiões de fãs de todas as idades e culturas.
