Klappentext:
Par. Sanditon, Lady Susan, & The History of England: The Juvenilia and Shorter Works of Jane Austen is a rare collection and a must for all Jane-ites.
Part of the Macmillan Collector\'s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition features an introduction by Kathryn White.
Representing what Richard Church regarded as Jane Austen\'s literary work-basket, this collection contains not only her hilarious History of England, illustrated by her favourite sister Cassandra, but the unfinished Sanditon, the novel of her maturity on which she was working at her death, aged forty-two. Also included are the two epistolary novels, Lady Susan and Love and Friendship [sic], and other, shorter works: \'The Watsons\', \'Catharine\', \'Lesley Castle\', \'Evelyn\', \'Frederic and Elfrida\', \'Jack and Alice\', \'Edgar and Emma\', \'Henry and Eliza\' and \'The Three Sisters\'.Par.
Rezension:
We will all die, though probably not from the thing that we feared or foresaw. That certainty haunts the book, sharpens the pitch of its comedy, and sets it apart from her earlier works. Anthony Lane The New Yorker
