- catalog abstract ""An acknowledged triumph of literary insight, Elizabeth Jenkins' life of Jane Austen has been for many years a favorite portrait of this remarkable woman. At the same time it is an absorbing evocation of social life amongst the country gentry of Georgian England. This is the world of Jane's small circle of friends and her large and affectionate family - the world she depicted so brilliantly in her novels. Elizabeth Jenkins, herself a distinguished novelist, shows how Jane Austen's life in Hampshire, Bath and London was reflected in her novels ; and by drawing on the writer's sparkling correspondence with her sister, on family reminiscences and on the novels themselves, she builds up a sensitive picture of Jane Austen's emotional and creative life. In doing so she shows how her great gifts developed from the early novels to the remarkable achievements of her maturity: Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma and Persuasion." --from back cover.".
