Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brave Jane Austen, a picture book biography of the groundbreaking female novelist. Perfect for Women's History Month. Born in the late 1700s, Jane Austen was a smart, creative girl in a house full of boys, all of whom could aspire to accomplish many things as adults while girls were raised primarily to become good wives. Jane didn’t have much opportunity to go to school but she read everything she could, including all the books in her father’s study. And before long, she began to write her own stories, filled with funny, clever, and inventive characters. Today, Austen’s novels (Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Emma . . .) are widely read by all ages. She is recognized as one of the most important and influential writers of all time. "Jane Austen is the pinnacle to which all authors aspire."—J. K. Rowling Christy Ottaviano Book

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of Jane Austen's life and writings, this work surveys two centuries of editing, censorship, and fiction that created a pious, wistful, romantically pining, and frustrated Austen.

Book excerpt: "Long before Austen first put pen to paper in pursuit of a work equal to or greater than her beloved 'Sense and Sensibility, ' readers have desired the mystical realms of brave interchanges that see lower classes unseat those above them, wrestle with liberties of love, and mine the gems of 'self.' 'Pride and Prejudice' measures all of these themes and more. And while all are important, perhaps the greatest achievement rendered by the novel is the truest dignity found in humbly submitting to the knowledge of one's faults, and in reply, laboring to change for the better-and not necessarily for self-improvement, but rather for the betterment of others... A fanciful classic for a reason, 'Pride and Prejudice' will by its eloquence continue to delight for ages to come, being certain to lure many of its readers to say as others have said: 'I was born in the wrong century.' " -From the Introductio

Download or read book Jane Austen s Guide to Life written by Lori Smith and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jane Austen has become our patron saint of romance, our goddess of happy endings. Her name is synonymous with romantic sighs, period costumes, and the ideal of what love should be. But if she could give us advice about life and love, what would she tell us? What would she make of Match.com, of our Real Housewives, or of our obsession with finding The One? Austen’s stories give us relationship advice that still works today, but her life offers us so much more wisdom than just that pertaining to love. In our fame-obsessed culture, it’s refreshing to think that Austen preferred to remain anonymous. Ironically, Jane Austen—master of love stories—never married and can teach us something about being single. She also endured many painful circumstances and managed them with grace and humor. In this light biography and guide, author Lori Smith surmises about Austen’s sensible advice for twenty-first-century women—on everything from living our dreams, being a woman of substance, finding a good man, managing money, and much more. As such an astute student of human nature, Austen can teach us an awful lot about ourselves and about what it means to live well.
