Join us in reading A Memoir Of Jane Austen, written by her nephew J. E. Austen-Leigh.Jane Austen (1775-1817) ? The daughter of a village preacher, the seventh child of eight, and one of two daughters, Austen grew up with little formal instruction, and wrote six novels by the age of 40: her first published novel Sense and Sensibility (1811), the popular Pride and Prejudice (1813), the psychologically complex Mansfield Park (1814), the clever Emma (1816), the melancholy Persuasion (1818), and humorous Northanger Abbey (1818), the latter two being posthumously published. Though not an acclaimed author during her lifetime, her then anonymously published novels are counted among the most popular works of classic literature in the English speaking world today, two centuries later.Stratfordian Mews produces classic literature in an academic-friendly edition with luxuriously wide, spacious margins for easy notation.
