Publisher's Synopsis
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen is one of the world's most popular novelists, a sharp and witty writer whose stories enchant on their own and in numerous film and TV adaptations. "Jane Austen's World" takes a look at the woman behind the literature, revealing her private life and examining the world she inhabited a time when England was developing into a colonial power, the Napoleonic Wars raged, and the Regency took hold. No other book truly captures Austen's spirit as well."
