Part biography and part cultural history, this celebrated book not only tells the captivating story of Jane Austen's life as a writer, but also her literary legacy. Award-winning biographer Claire Harman traces the growth of Jane Austen's fame and the changing status of her work, a story of personal struggle, family intrigue, accident, advocacy and sometimes surprising neglect.
A landmark study that doesn't just tell a fascinating story, but is essential listening for anyone interested in Austen's life, works, and remarkably potent fame.
