Jane Austen's Letters (4th Edition), Deidre Le Faye, PB

Jane Austen's letters afford a unique and irresistible insight into the daily life of the novelist: intimate and gossipy, observant and informative - they read much like the novels themselves. They bring alive her family and friends, her surroundings and contemporary events, all with a freshness unparalleled in modern biographies. Most importantly, we recognise the unmistakeable voice of the author as it shifts from witty descriptions of the social life of town and country, to a thoughtful consideration of the business of literary composition.

The fourth edition incorporates another decade's worth of scholarship which further enriches our understanding of Austen and gives us the fullest and most revealing view yet of her life and family. It includes a new preface, amended and updated biographical and topographical indexes, and a brand new subject index.
