Omschrijving

For fans of classic literature and Regency history, this pocket guide offers timeless insights into Jane Austen's world, making it perfect for readers seeking wit, wisdom, and societal reflection.

Ponder the wisdom and witticisms of Jane Austen in this handy pocket guide.

Jane Austen is perhaps the Regency era's most beloved writer, and a whole industry has grown up around her witty novels, her life, and her unforgettable characters. Here historian and author Suzie Grogan explains the universal themes of love, loss, betrayal, scandal and society found in her works, as well as providing a concise history of her life and times. What can we learn from Marianne's sensibilities? Or Elizabeth's prejudice? Here Darcy becomes more than a handsome, proud man and instead shows this level of profound self-knowledge: 'As a child I was taught what was right, but I was not taught to correct my temper. I was given good principles, but left to follow them in pride and conceit.' Quiet little Fanny Price is the wise utterer of the words: 'We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be.'

This book will permit you to find deeper meaning in the words of Jane Austen's characters as well as understanding more about the Georgian society in which she lived.
