A PENGUIN CLASSICS HARDCOVER JANE AUSTEN THE ...

Few novelists have conveyed the subtleties and nuances of their own social milieu with the wit
and insight of Jane Austen. Through her vivacious and spirited heroines and their circle  she
painted vivid portraits of English middle-class life as the eighteenth century came to a close.
Each of these novels is a love story and a story about marriage—marriage for love  for
financial security  for social status. But they are not mere romances. Ironic  comic  and wise
they are masterly studies of the society Austen observed. The seven books in this box set—Sense
and Sensibility  Pride and Prejudice  Mansfield Park  Emma  Northanger Abbey  Persuasion  and
Love and Freindship (early writings and juvenilia)—contain some of the most brilliant  dazzling
prose in the English language. Part of Penguin's beautiful Hardcover Classics series  designed
by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith  these delectable and collectible editions are
bound in high-quality  tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.
