Book Description
Brave Jane Austen, a picture book biography of the groundbreaking female novelist. Perfect for Women's History Month. Born in the late 1700s, Jane Austen was a smart, creative girl in a house full of boys, all of whom could aspire to accomplish many things as adults while girls were raised primarily to become good wives. Jane didn’t have much opportunity to go to school but she read everything she could, including all the books in her father’s study. And before long, she began to write her own stories, filled with funny, clever, and inventive characters. Today, Austen’s novels (Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Emma . . .) are widely read by all ages. She is recognized as one of the most important and influential writers of all time. "Jane Austen is the pinnacle to which all authors aspire."—J. K. Rowling Christy Ottaviano Book

Book Description
A study of Jane Austen's life and writings, this work surveys two centuries of editing, censorship, and fiction that created a pious, wistful, romantically pining, and frustrated Austen. It serves up an antidote to that icon - a dynamic, brave, and buoyant writer - by examining subtle self-portraits in the author's works.

Book Description
Claire Tomalin brings her extraordinary gifts of scholarship, fluent writing and empathy for her subjects to bear on one of our greatest, and most elusive, novelists. Widely acclaimed as the finest of Austen biographies, the book offers us 'a brave, sharp-tongued character who fairly bounces off the page' (Val Hennesy). And along the way it gives us an 'authoratative, graceful,succinct account of a wide swathe of English society which brilliantly illuminates' the novelist (Victoria Glendinning).

Book Description
"Long before Austen first put pen to paper in pursuit of a work equal to or greater than her beloved 'Sense and Sensibility, ' readers have desired the mystical realms of brave interchanges that see lower classes unseat those above them, wrestle with liberties of love, and mine the gems of 'self.' 'Pride and Prejudice' measures all of these themes and more. And while all are important, perhaps the greatest achievement rendered by the novel is the truest dignity found in humbly submitting to the knowledge of one's faults, and in reply, laboring to change for the better-and not necessarily for self-improvement, but rather for the betterment of others... A fanciful classic for a reason, 'Pride and Prejudice' will by its eloquence continue to delight for ages to come, being certain to lure many of its readers to say as others have said: 'I was born in the wrong century.'

Book Description
The words of Pride & Prejudice and Sense & Sensibility merge in this one-of-a-kind continuation of both beloved Jane Austen tales. Love reigns supreme for Colonels Buford, Fitzwilliam, and Buford as our brave fighting men are enjoying their courtships and early married lives with three beloved Austen heroines. The couples lead tranquil lives-until Napoleon Bonaparte escapes from exile. As the colonels set out to meet their destinies on the field of Waterloo, Anne, Caroline, and Marianne defend their hearts against the fear of losing their loved ones forever. From the serenity of Regency England to the scandal and intrigue of the Congress of Vienna, three gentlemen live, love, fight, and defend their country from Napoleon's voracious ambition.

Book Description
Courtship, marriage, adultery, class and "rank," mundane tasks of ordinary life, all appear, as does the wider political and military world - especially the navy, in which her brothers served."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
"Austen's novels have become timeless classics because of their biting wit, honest social commentary, and because she wrote of strong women who were ahead of their day. True to their principles and beliefs, they fought through hypocrisy and broke social boundaries to find their happily-ever-after. In the third romance anthology of The Quill Collective series, sixteen celebrated Austenesque authors write the untold histories of Austen's brave adventuresses, her shy maidens, her talkative spinsters, and her naughty matrons. Peek around the curtain and discover what made Lady Susan so wicked, Mary Crawford so capricious, and Hettie Bates so in need of Emma Woodhouse's pity."--

Book Description
For many middle-class women of Austen's day, marriage was paradoxically the only method of achieving independence. Marriage could also be a life sentence. Myer shows that by many accounts Austen was pretty and flirtatious (though occasionally also sharp-tongued), and the object of at least two proposals, but obstinate in her refusal to marry for other than love. Her obstinacy condemned her to reliance on her family for financial support. As Myer points out, it also enabled Austen to write her immortal novels.
