| Synopsis: |
This book presents a revealing and insightful look at the life and legacy of one of English literature's best-loved writers. Two centuries after they were first published, Jane Austen's novels are still bestsellers. Dozens of other writers continue the stories of her characters in their own works, and Hollywood continues to spend millions making movies of her books and life."Jane Austen: Writer of Fancy" provides readers with an overview of Austen's life, character, and legacy. It reveals how Austen was a modest artist who knew her limitations, devoted herself to her craft, and avoided the emerging cult of literary celebrity and hype. This will become a much-loved reference for all fans of one of the English-speaking world's best-loved and most influential authors. |
