The six great novels of Jane Austen picture a world of civility and reassuring stability. Was this the world she lived in? Not quite,as this fascinating biography shows. From local archives Claire Tomalin has reconstructed the lives of her relatives and Hampshire neighbours. And there are many surprises too about the writer who deemed herself to be "formidable". Based on the original research for which Claire Tomalin is renowned, and including passages of literary criticism as well as intimate portraits of this remarkable writer, this will unquestionably be the definitive biography: a great biographer on a great writer.

Paperback. Condición: Good. The novels of Jane Austen depict a world of civility, reassuring stability and continuity, which generations of readers have supposed was the world she herself inhabited. Claire Tomalin's biography paints a surprisingly different picture of the Austen family and their Hampshire neighbours, and of Jane's progress through a difficult childhood, an unhappy love affair, her experiences as a poor relation and her decision to reject a marriage that would solve all her problems - except that of continuing as a writer. Both the woman and the novels are radically reassessed in this biography. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine. Nº de ref. del artículo: GOR001538186
