About the Author
Jane Austen was born in 1775 at Steventon, Hampshire. She was the seventh child of the local rector, and her life was by modem standards uneventful. In 1801 she moved with her parents to Bath, but returned to Hampshire when her father died, settling in the village of Chawton. She remained there until 1817, when she moved to Winchester to be within easy reach of her doctor. She died that year, aged forty-one and is buried in Winchester Cathedral, which also contains a plaque to her memory. Four of her novels were published anonymously in her lifetime; two more, one of which was Persuasion, appeared posthumously. She never married.
The illustrator, Hugh Thomson (186o-192o), was born in Coleraine, County Londonderry. He sprung to fame as the illustrator of Coaching Days and Coaching Ways, and his delightful nostalgic line drawings were much influenced by Randolph Caldecott. In tum, his work influenced other artists, especially C.E. and H.M. Brock."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Jane enjoyed social events, and her early letters tell of dances and parties; however, there is little solid evidence of any serious courtship with men, apart from a mutual flirtation with an Irishman Thomas Lefroy and an unsubstantiated story of a holiday romance with 'a young man', who supposedly told Jane, when parting at the end of the holiday, that he would seek her out again. However, they heard a little time later that he had died. In 1801 when Jane's father retired, the family moved to Bath, and then in 1806 to Southampton. Three years later, together with her sister and mother, she moved to Chawton, near Alton and Winchester, where her brother Edward provided a small house on one of his estates. She remained there for the rest of her life until she died on Friday 18th July 1817 aged 41. It was not known what caused her death, but it seems likely that it was Addison's disease. Her literary career began at the age of fifteen, when she started work on her Juvenilia, which were written between 1787 and 1793, they are collected in three volumes and were originally written for the amusement of her family. Earlier versions of her novels were all begun and worked on from 1795 to 1799. Sense and Sensibility was finally published in 1811, Pride and Prejudice in 1813, Mansfield Park in 1814, Emma in 1816. Northanger Abbey and Persuasion were both published posthumously in 1818. In her works she generally portrayed small groups of people in a limited environment, and moulding the trivial incidents of their lives into a comedy of manners. Most of her characters are middle-class in constant pursuit of courtship and marriage. Boxed Set includes: . Sense and Sensibility . Pride and Prejudice . Persuasion . Northanger Abbey . Mansfield Park . Lady Susan & Other Works . Emma The perfect gift for any Jane Austen lover for only 29.99.
