About this title

From the Author:

Special care was taken in preparing this particular edition of Jane Austen, Her Life and Letters by ensuring a clean, clear reading interface and by including the extensive Austen pedigrees and family trees not available in many other versions. Format was edited for readability and inclusion of pedigree by Howard Clarke. (No changes to original text.)

From the Back Cover:

Here, not only will you discover a treasure trove of facts about Jane's wonderful novels, but you'll also experience--through Jane's letters and the painstaking research by the authors--the irony of the world's finest romantic writer ultimately (due to tragedy and interference) failing to enjoy the same love and romance she poured into the lives of her fictional characters. Characters she truly cared for, like Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth. Meet Jane Austen's family, friends, and rivals, and journey alongside the famous writer as her life and career are spread before you from beginning to end, courtesy of her loving and dedicated biographers and through her own words.
