"I hate to hear you talk about all women as if they were fine ladies instead of rational creatures. None of us want to be in calm waters all our lives." "Perhaps I shall. Yes, yes, if you please, no reference to examples in books. Men have had every advantage of us in telling their own story. Education has been theirs in so much higher a degree; the pen has been in their hands. I will not allow books to prove anything." Persuasion (1817) by Jane Austen is a classic known for the remarkable depiction of its mature heroine, Anne Elliot. She is a 27-year-old woman whose engagement was broken off with Captain Frederick Wentworth seven years ago. When Anne's family lets Kellynch Hall to Wentworth's sister, Sophia and her husband, Anne and Wentworth encounter each other once again and their lives take unexpected turns.

Northanger Abbey is a novel by Jane Austen. It was published posthumously in 1817. The novel makes use of a satire on the prevailing society and mixes it with Gothic tales of terror. The main protagonist, Catherine Morland, is the daughter of a country parson, who gains worldly wisdom, first in the fashionable society of Bath and then at Northanger Abbey itself. In Abbey, she learns not to interpret the world through her reading of Gothic thrillers. Catherine's view of the world is coloured by her love of Gothic stories until she learns the value of controlling her imagination. The story of the novel thus concerns Catherine and her journey to a better understanding of herself and of the world around her. In Northanger Abbey, the narrative has two sources of conflict: internal and external. The internal conflict arises due to Catherine's own inability to distinguish fiction from reality. At the same time, the novel could also be considered Austen's critique of the gender relations and social structures of late eighteenth and early nineteenth-century.

Jane Austen's most popular novel, the unforgettable story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy. Now in large print.Mrs Bennet has five daughters to marry. Not easy when they have a small dowry, and suitors are scarce. But a new young gentleman has just arrived at Netherfield Park, the neighbouring estate, and the good manners of the English gentry of the Regency era quickly arrange a ball to meet him.Mr Bingley soon becomes involved with the eldest daughter, Jane, and there is almost talk of marriage. The same cannot be said of his youngest daughter, Elizabeth, who for her part has met the man who is certainly the proudest in the county in the person of Mr. Darcy, a friend of Mr. Bingley's, with whom she has an icy, barely polite relationship. This rather obnoxious and haughty character, however, takes a great interest in this sassy, witty and independent young woman.In Jane Austen's comedy of manners, intellectual and class prejudices, personal pride and family pride fall victim to these encounters, making this novel Jane Austen's most famous work, known for her caustic wit and keen observations.

The novel tells the story of Fanny Price and her development into adulthood. When her overburdened family sends her at the age of ten to live in the household of her wealthy aunt and uncle, she grows up with her four cousins: Tom, Edmund, Maria, and Julia. She makes a special bond with Edmund as she grows up to be a shy yet morally righteous woman.

Aussi, quand le père d'Henry invite Catherine à passer quelques jours dans sa maison, elle est au comble du bonheur.

Sense and Sensibility, is a novel by Jane Austen that was published in three volumes in 1811 and became a classic. The comic work offers a lucid depiction of 19th-century middle-class life as it follows the romantic relationships of Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. While focusing on the sisters Elinor and Marianne, the novel tells the story of the impoverished Dashwood family. After sisters become destitute upon the death of their father, they leave to John, their half- brother who is instructed to take care of them. But John is dissuaded of his duty by Fanny, his greedy wife.Initially, titled as Elinor and Marianne, Austen significantly revised it in 1809. It was her first published novel. Sense and Sensibility contains what would become Austen's trademark features: insightful observation, characterization, and wit. Upon publication, Sense and Sensibility was a success and it later was adapted for film, stage, and television. After its commercial success, it spurred a resurgence of interest in Austen's other novels.

Avec le mariage de sa gouvernante qui la quitte, Emma décide de s'occuper du mariage de nombre de ses relations. Sûre d'elle, elle est persuadée d'avoir les talents pour cette activité. Mais son inexpérience de l'amour et des gens, ses propres erreurs de jugement sur ses émotions amoureuses, lui valent bien des surprises et déceptions.

Since its immediate success in 1813, Pride and Prejudice has remained one of the most popular novels in the English language. Jane Austen called this brilliant work "her own darling child" and its vivacious heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, "as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print." The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and her proud beau, Mr. Darcy, is a splendid performance of civilized sparring. And Jane Austen's radiant wit sparkles as her characters dance a delicate quadrille of flirtation and intrigue, making this book the most superb comedy of manners of Regency England.

The author of one of the greatest romance novels of all time, Pride and Prejudice, takes her readers on a satiric tour through England's history Written during Jane Austen's teenage years as part of her Juvenilia of the 1790s, The History of England mercilessly exploits the comedic potential of human foibles within British royalty. Filled with puns and parodies, the history begins with the reign of Henry IV and concludes with the death of Charles I more than two centuries later. Originally intending it for circulation and performance among family and friends, Jane also commissioned her sister Cassandra to provide illustrations to complement her signature wit and humor. This volume includes an informative introduction, background context such as family trees and personal letters, and extensive editorial commentary. Austen fans and history buffs are sure to delight in this work written by "a partial, prejudiced, and ignorant historian."

Jane Austen, Unabridged takes readers on a journey through the prolific author's life with private letters, unpublished works and facts no one knew about a woman who revolutionized the romance genre. Jane Austen is arguably one of the best English novelists of our time, known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favorable social standing and economic security. Her works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Her use of biting irony, along with her realism, humor, and social commentary, have long earned her acclaim among critics, scholars, and popular audiences alike. This memoir of the late English novelists life includes never before seen teenage writings, letters to family members, a lost love and even three of her unpublished works such as Lady Susan, The Watsons and Sandition.

Jane Austen's letters afford a unique insight into the daily life of the novelist: intimate and gossipy, observant and informative--they read much like the novels themselves. They bring alive her family and friends, her surroundings and contemporary events, all with a freshness unparalleled in modern biographies. Most important, we recognize the unmistakable voice of the author of such novels as Pride and Prejudice and Emma. We see the shift in her writing from witty and amusing descriptions of the social life of town and country, to a thoughtful and constructive tone while writing about the business of literary composition. R.W. Chapman's ground-breaking edition of the collected letters first appeared in 1932, and a second edition followed twenty years later. A third edition, edited Deirdre Le Faye in 1997 added new material, re-ordered the letters into their correct chronological sequence, and provided discreet and full annotation to each letter, including its provenance, and information on the watermarks, postmarks, and other physical details of the manuscripts. This new fourth edition incorporates the findings of recent scholarship to further enrich our understanding of Austen and give us the fullest and most revealing view yet of her life and family. In addition, Le Faye has written a new preface, has amended and updated the biographical and topographical indexes, has introduced a new subject index, and had added the contents of the notes to the general index. Teachers, students, and fans of Jane Austen, at all levels, will find in these letters remarkable insight into one of the most popular novelists ever.

The novel tells the story of Fanny Price, starting when her overburdened family sends her at the age of ten to live in the household of her wealthy aunt and uncle and following her development into early adulthood. From early on critical interpretation has been diverse, differing particularly over the character of the heroine, Austen's views about theatrical performance and the centrality or otherwise of ordination and religion, and on the question of slavery. Some of these problems have been highlighted in the several later adaptations of the story for stage and screen.

Emma, is the fourth novel written by Jane Austen. It was published in three volumes in 1815. The novel is set in Highbury, England, in the early 19th century. It centres on Emma Woodhouse, an intelligent young woman whose misplaced confidence in her matchmaking abilities results in several romantic misadventures. Introduction of the character Emma Woodhouse in the novel is considered as among the most famous in the history of fiction.

The story concerns Anne Elliot, an Englishwoman of 27 years, whose family moves to lower their expenses and reduce their debt by renting their home to an Admiral and his wife. The wife's brother, Captain Frederick Wentworth, was engaged to Anne in 1806, but the engagement was broken when Anne was persuaded by her friends and family to end their relationship. Anne and Captain Wentworth, both single and unattached, meet again after a seven-year separation, setting the scene for many humorous encounters as well as a second, well-considered chance at love and marriage for Anne. The novel was well-received in the early 19th century, but its greater fame came later in the century and continued into the 20th and 21st centuries. Much scholarly debate on Austen's work has since been published. Anne Elliot is noteworthy among Austen's heroines for her relative maturity. As Persuasion was Austen's last completed work, it is accepted as her most maturely written novel, showing a refinement of literary conception indicative of a woman approaching 40 years of age. Her use of free indirect speech in narrative was in full evidence by 1816. Persuasion has been the subject of several adaptations, including four made-for-television adaptations, theatre productions, radio broadcasts, and other literary works.
