The Real Jane Austen: A Life in Small Things
Paula Byrne
In The Real Jane Austen, acclaimed literary biographer Paula Byrne provides the most intimate and revealing portrait yet of a beloved but complex novelist.
Just as letters and tokens in Jane Austen?s novels often signal key turning points in the narrative, Byrne explores the small things ? a scrap of paper, a gold chain, an ivory miniature ? that held significance in Austen?s personal and creative life.
Byrne transports us to different worlds, from the East Indies to revolutionary Paris, and to different events, from a high society scandal to a case of petty shoplifting. In this ground-breaking biography, Austen is set on a wider stage than ever before, revealing a well-traveled and politically aware writer ? important aspects of her artistic development that have long been overlooked.
The Real Jane Austen is a fresh, compelling, and surprising biography of the author of some of our most enduring classic books ? from Pride and Prejudice to Sense and Sensibility, Emma to Persuasion ? and a vivid evocation of the world that shaped her.
