The Illustrated Letters of Jane Austen

This book provides a selection of intimate letters that read like scenes from her classic novels Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, and Emma. It is beautifully illustrated with period paintings and engravings from Regency England. In making this selection from the letters my purpose has been to present a rounded picture of their author, showing her from as many angles as possible, in many and various moods. The letters have been arranged chronologically in six sections, marking various milestones in Jane Austen's life. - Publisher.
