Jane Austen's sharp, witty novels have a devoted readership--and this biography feeds her fans' appetite for background on the beloved author, providing information on her relationships, contemporary attitudes, and the settings for her novels. Drawing on personal archives, Jane Austen features rare early manuscripts; a handwritten note outlining the profits from her novels; a letter from Jane's father to the publisher Thomas Cadell; and pages from the unfinished manuscript of Sanditon.
