Book Description
'History is indeed little more than a register of the crimes, follies and misfortunes of mankind.' Edward Gibbon The history of England is a full and fascinating one, but all too often one gets caught up in finding out about one era, or daunted at the prospect of trying to discover more from such a vast expanse of information. In A History of England in a Nutshell, John Mathew provides readers across the range with a work covering England's interesting (and often bloody) history in concise yet enthralling detail. From the first century BC when the Romans reached England's shores, through to Queen Victoria's reign and the height of the British Empire, this book will give you a comprehensive - and more importantly, comprehensible - retelling of England's history. Whether you wish to read straight through and follow the twists and turns of a kingdom being forged over the centuries, or to dip into sections of interest, it will engross and inform alike.

Book Description
Jane Austen (16 December 1775 - 18 July 1817) was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security. Her works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Her use of biting irony, along with her realism and social commentary, have earned her acclaim among critics and scholars. With the publications of "Sense and Sensibility" (1811), "Pride and Prejudice" (1813), "Mansfield Park" (1814) and "Emma" (1816), she achieved success as a published writer. She wrote two additional novels, "Northanger Abbey" and "Persuasion", both published posthumously in 1818, and began another, eventually titled "Sanditon", but died before its completion. She also left behind three volumes of juvenile writings in manuscript and another unfinished novel, "The Watsons". Her six full-length novels have rarely been out of print, although they were published anonymously and brought her moderate success and little fame during her lifetime. A significant transition in her posthumous reputation occurred in 1833, when her novels were republished in Richard Bentley's Standard Novels series, illustrated by Ferdinand Pickering, and sold as a set. They gradually gained wider acclaim and popular readership. In 1869, fifty-two years after her death, her nephew's publication of "A Memoir of Jane Austen" introduced a compelling version of her writing career and supposedly uneventful life to an eager audience. Austen has inspired a large number of critical essays and literary anthologies. Her novels have inspired many films, from 1940's "Pride and Prejudice" to more recent productions like "Sense and Sensibility" (1995) and "Love & Friendship" (2016).
