The Wisdom of Jane Austen

 

The perfect companion for Austen’s devoted following For over 150 years, Jane Austen has charmed readers with her keen observations and satirical wit. Although set in the parlors and ballrooms of nineteenth-century Britain, her novels continue to resonate deeply with readers as her endearingly imperfect characters share their hopes and foibles, passions and disappointments, in their quest for love and ultimately happy marriage. Collected from her novels, early stories, and letters, The Wisdom of Jane Austen shares her witty and timeless views on a range of subjects, from love and marriage, to fashion and duels, and, of course, pride, prejudice, sense, and sensibility.
