Jane Austen: Writer of Fancy
Peter J. Leithart Notable Lives Series
Two centuries after her works were first published, Jane Austen's novels are still best sellers. Jane Austen provides an overview of the life, character, and legacy of a modest artist who knew her limitations, devoted herself to her craft, and avoided the developing culture of celebrity and hype. Paying attention to the details of life around her, this highly imaginative and thoroughly practical woman rendered these particulars with precision in her novels.
