Austen, Jane

Jane Austen sets social snobbery against summer picnics; social rejection against the passion of real love.

Description

‘The wit of Jane Austen has for partner the perfection of her taste’ Virginia Woolf

Jane Austen’s subtle and witty novel of secrets and suppression, lies and seduction, brilliantly portrays a world where rigid social convention clashes with the impulses of the heart. It tells the story of two very different sisters who find themselves thrown into an unkind world when their father dies. Marianne, wild and impulsive, falls dangerously in love, while Elinor suffers her own private heartbreak but conceals her true feelings, even from those closest to her.

Edited with an Introduction by ROS BALLASTER
