...Praised by critics and studied by scholars, Jane Austen's novels endure because of their popularity with readers. The author's witty and astute observations elevate her tales of parties, gossip, and romance into matters of captivating drama, offering an evocative portrait of everyday life in the towns and countryside of Regency England. Austen's premature death at the age of forty-two curtailed her legacy, and her devotees have eagerly read and
...Some would argue that Jane Austen was England's finest authoress and it would be hard to argue against. The characters and sweep of the lives of the landed gentry and her grip on social commentary in Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, Emma, Northanger Abbey are true testament to her greatness in a life of only 42 years. But here we present another facet of her talent; her poetry. Often overlooked and admittedly slim but revealing nonetheless.
...Écrit en 1803, Catherine Morland (Northanger Abbey) est le premier roman de Jane Austen, même s'il n'a été publié qu'en 1818, un an après sa mort.
La jeune et naïve Catherine Morland est invitée par des voisins de ses parents à passer quelques semaines à Bath. Là, elle se lie d'amitié avec la jeune et inconstante Isabelle Thorpe et son frère, le présomptuteux John qui se pose rapidement en prétendant de Catherine. Elle y rencontre

...17) Mansfield Park
Mansfield Park est un roman de la femme de lettres anglaise Jane Austen paru en 1814, le premier entièrement écrit dans ses années de maturité, puisqu'elle y a travaillé durant l'année 1813. Souvent considéré comme le plus expérimental de tous ses écrits, il est d'un abord plus difficile que les autres et son personnage principal, la timide et silencieuse Fanny Price, est une héroïne paradoxale, qui séduit difficilement le lecteur.
...18) Persuasao

Persuasion was published in December 1817, but is dated 1818. The author died earlier in 1817.
