This detailed account of Jane Austen's life, background and literary career collects together all the documented facts concerning the novelist, and illuminates her place within an affectionate and talented family group. Many of the facts are given in the Austens' own words; they show how Jane was valued as daughter, sister, aunt and friend, and how she transformed the stuff of her peaceful life in the Hampshire countryside, together with the wartime careers of her brothers, into the six novels that are among the most popular in the English language.
Deirdre Le Faye has been actively researching the life and times of Jane Austen and her family for the last thirty years. In 1995 she prepared a completely new edition of Jane Austen's Letters. She has also written several other books: a short illustrated biography, Jane Austen (1998), Jane Austen's 'Outlandish Cousin', the Life and Letters of Eliza de Feuillide (2002), and Jane Austen: The World of her Novels (2002), as well as numerous articles in literary journals.
