Authors span the full spectrum from the brooding romance of the Bronte sisters and George Elliot to the gothic charms of Charles Dickens and Henry James. Jane Austen, the daughter of a clergyman, was born in Hampshire in 1775, and later lived in Bath and the village of Chawton.Few novelists have conveyed the subtleties and nuances of their own social milieu with the wit and insight of Jane Austen. In addition to being a great educational resource, the Complete Jane Austen Collection is also a beautiful addition to any bookshelf. Seamus Heaney’s deeply felt interpretation, widely acknowledged as the greatest Beowulf translation of modern times, is presented in parallel with the Old English verse in this fabulous Folio edition. All the books in the collection are provided with an extensive critical apparatus and extra reading material, including a section of photographs and notes. The story of a young woman trying to find her place in society, this classic coming of age story was revolutionary for its time.

Her novels are known for their witty social commentary and exploration of the lives of women in Regency-era England. Witty, vivid and eloquent, Jane Austen s delightful romance novels will paint a colourful portrait of the last chapter of the eighteenth century inside the reader s mind.Written with deft humour, Emma explores the hubris of class and youth, and the importance of maturity, discretion and growing up. But as she blunders through a scheme to find a suitable husband for her new friend Harriet, Emma begins to realise that her judgement is not as good as she thought.

She also left two earlier compositions, a short epistolary novel, Lady Susan, and an unfinished novel, The Watsons.In their original formats, some of these old Jane Austen books retain the weathered and vintage feel of a novel written long before our time whilst remaining loved and valued today - which many, if not all, of Jane Austen's works are! Set in the fictitious village of Highbury, Jane Austen's Emma is the story of a clever, albeit spoilt, woman Emma Woodhouse, who lives with her father. Beautiful, clever, and rich, Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her single life and sees no need for either love or marriage. In Northanger Abbey, Austen takes a satirical swipe at the gothic novel in this classic book bursting with sly subversive wit. But when the sophisticated Crawfords move into the neighbourhood, even Edmund falls under their spell, and Fanny finds herself more alone than ever.
