We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
Many vintage books such as this are bing increasingly scarce and expensive. Having completed rereading all of Jane Austen’s novels over the last few years to commemorate their respective 200th anniversaries, we decided to return this year to her two unfinished novels, starting in February with The Watsons. Other notable works by this author include: Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), and Mansfield Park (1814). Her use of irony coupled with biting social commentary and realism have led to her wide acclaim amongst scholars and critics, her work contributing to the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Jane Austen (1775 - 1817) was an English author known primarily for her novels, which critique the 18th century English upper classes and contemporary novels of sensibility. Penned when she was just 14 years old, this text includes all of Austens original spelling quirks. As they discuss such subjects as adultery, elopement, divorce, and remarriage, it soon bes clear that that they are shallow, trivial women, and easy targets for Jane Austens sharp wit and social satire. Presented as a series of letters, it follows the conversations and musings of Miss Margaret Lesley and Miss Charlotte Lutterell. Book Synopsis Lesley Castle is a novella by Jane Austen, unfinished at the time of her death. The twists and turns of the plot, which take viewers from the West Indies to the rotting alleys of London, expose the hidden agendas of each character and sees Charlotte discover herself… and ultimately find love.About the Book Presented as a series of letters, this novella follows the conversations and musings of Miss Margaret Lesley and Miss Charlotte Lutterell. When a chance accident transports her from her rural hometown of Willingden to the would-be coastal resort of the eponymous title, it exposes Charlotte to the intrigues and dalliances of a seaside town on the make, and the characters whose fortunes depend on its commercial success. “Masterpiece” provided this synopsis: “‘Sanditon’ tells the story of the joyously impulsive, spirited and unconventional Charlotte Heywood and her spiky relationship with the humorous, charming (and slightly wild!) Sidney Parker. ITV in Great Britain announced the production on Tuesday.Īndrew Davies, who adapted Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” into a beloved series with Colin Firth, has written “Sanditon.” Jane Austen left “Sanditon” unfinished at her death in 1817, but PBS “Masterpiece” will transform the 11-chapter novel into an eight-part drama series. Collected here with her unfinished work The Watsons, and the much-loved novella-in-letters, Lady Susan, Austens final, unfinished novel demonstrates her.
