Book Description
This exhilarating collection of essays is the product of a lifetime's engagement with Jane Austen's writing. They are modest, searching, wonderfully perceptive essays from which all lovers of Jane Austen, the most knowledgeable as well as those who have just discovered her, will have much to learn. They are essays that send us back to the novels with a renewed understanding of Jane Austen's extraordinary achievement. Prof. Richard Cronin, University of Glasgow This volume presents an exhilarating and insightful collection of essays on Jane Austen – distilling the author’s deep understanding and appreciation of Austen’s works across a lifetime. The volume is both intra- and inter-textual in focus, ranging from perceptive analysis of individual scenes to the exploration of motifs across Austen’s fiction. Full of astute connections, these lively discussions hinge on the study of human behaviour – from family relationships to sickness and hypochondria – highlighting Austen’s artful literary techniques and her powers of human observation. Jane Austen: Reflections of a Reader by (the late) Nora Bartlett is a brilliant contribution to the field of Jane Austen studies, both in its accessible style (which preserves the oral register of the original lectures), and in its foregrounding of the reader in a warm, compelling and incisive conversation about Austen’s works. As such, it will appeal widely to all lovers of Jane Austen, whether first-time readers, students or scholars.

Book Description
Jane Austen was an English Regency novelist known for her major literature & fiction novels. Jane Austen's most highly praised genre fiction novel is her second published book, Pride and Prejudice, which was originally published in 1813 and remains a best selling book in the present day. Jane Austen's Regency genre fiction novels have inspired a large number of critical essays and literary anthologies. Her success as a published writer quickly surpassed the borders of Britain and allowed Jane Austen to garner international fame. Her major works include, literature & fiction classics Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park, and Emma. Jane Austen also wrote two additional Regency genre fiction novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, two books which were published posthumously in 1818. This literature & fiction anthology edition includes Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Persuasion considered by many to be Jane Austen's three best classics. Jane Austen's work is often categorized in the Romance genre, however the title of her books Sense and Sensibility as well as Pride and Prejudice, and Persuasion all may be suggestive of political conflicts of the late 1700's and early 1800's. This literature & fiction anthology edition includes the three classic Jane Austen novels Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Persuasion which all are often required textbook reading for many literature and humanities courses.

Book Description
Born into wealth and aristocracy, Edith Wharton (1862–1937) was a member as well as an observer of fashionable New York society. Aspirations to authorship consigned her to outsider status among the idle rich; nevertheless, she drew upon her privileged social position to create witty and psychologically insightful novels and short stories about people from all walks of life. This well-rounded introduction to Wharton's works features the complete text of her Pulitzer Prize–winning novel, The Age of Innocence, as well as her haunting novella, Ethan Frome. Several excerpts from her highly influential guide to interior design, The Decoration of Houses, offer samples of Wharton's nonfiction style. The collection also includes four short stories as well as several poems.
