About the Author:
Making fuller use of Austen's correspondence than previous biographers, Halperin shows us the costs exacted on a sensitive and critical personality by a society--and, frequently, a family--that paid too little attention to the predicament of unmarried women, especially those with inadequate financial means.
John Halperin is Centennial Professor of English at Vanderbilt University and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. He is the author of Trollope and Politics, Gissing: A Life in Books, C. P. Snow: An Oral Biography, Jane Austen's Lovers, Novelists in their Youth, and Eminent Georgians.
