Drawing extensively on Austen's correspondence, this biography--the first full-length biography to appear since Elizabeth Jenkins's "Jane Austen" of 1938--draws in detail a rich psychological portrait of the novelist that illuminates the genesis and the substance of her works

Book Description:

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.
