A PENGUIN CLASSICS HARDCOVER JANE AUSTEN THE ...

A beautiful boxed set of seven Hardcover Classics by Jane Austen  including Pride and Prejudice
Sense and Sensibility   Emma   Persuasion   Mansfield Park   Northanger Abbey   and Love and
Freindship   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.
