Description
Bei ihrem Tod mit nur 41 Jahren hinterließ Jane Austen drei ganz unterschiedliche unvollendete Romane: "The Watsons"? "Lady Susan" und "Sanditon". Sie bieten einen einzigartigen Einblick in ihre literarische Werkstatt, sind aber auch unabhängig davon als literarische Werke sehr reizvoll zu lesen. Als Ergänzung zu den sechs abgeschlossenen Romanen liegen sie hier in neuer Übersetzung vor.

Although the four novels published in her lifetime were well-received, much of Jane Austen's notoriety came about after her death. Her decision to publish anonymously was a standard for women in the early 19th century and furnished one of the most beloved writers in English literature little personal acclaim during her lifetime. The stories in this collection are drawn from the manuscripts of the author that are commonly referred to as her "Juvenilia"....

La autora inglesa Jane Austen (1775-1817) es una de las voces más reconocidas de la literatura de habla inglesa, y quizás de la literatura universal. Sus obras fueron consideradas adelantadas a su tiempo por la forma de abordar temas como la percepción del rol de la mujer en la Inglaterra de transición entre los siglos XVIII y XIX, el matrimonio como instrumento de control social y el hermetismo y sectarismo de la alta sociedad inglesa.

Jane Austen's "Northanger Abbey" took a meandering course toward publication. Originally written in 1803 as a satire of the popular Gothic novels of the day, the book was not published until after Austen's death in 1817.
The story concerns seventeen-year-old Catherine Morland, who has lived her entire life in the small village of Fullerton with her parents and nine siblings. This sedate (and frankly boring) life is upended when Catherine receives...

Although Jane Austen is best known for novels such as Pride and Prejudice that deal with romantic entanglements and class conflicts, she was also a skilled essayist and humor writer. In Love and Freindship (sic), Austen sends up the epistolary novels that were popular in her day, as well as skewering some of the satire-worthy ideas about love and marriage that were common in the era.
