Jane Austen created several novels that are essential to not only English but also world literature. "Pride and Prejudice," "Sense and Sensibility," and "Emma"—for over two hundred years, these remarkably charming classics have captivated new generations of readers and broken records for the number of film adaptations of a single author's works.
Jane Austen lived a tragically short life—only forty-one years—and yet her biography is remarkably similar to the lives of her beloved heroines—just as quiet and unhurried, yet full of passion, joys, and sorrows, hidden behind a façade of good breeding.
Jane's correspondence with her family and friends is a true gift for fans of the writer's work: her discussions of everyday life are characterized by the keen observation and incomparable humor for which her works are renowned. It is generally believed that one of the writer's favorite correspondents, her devoted sister Cassandra, destroyed some of her letters, which she deemed too personal and inappropriate for public consumption. This makes the surviving fragments of this correspondence all the more valuable. It served as a window onto the world and a source of inspiration for Jane Austen, captivating, charming, and sparklingly witty, like another unpublished novel.
