Description

Enormously influential on all later biographies of Jane Austen, the “Memoir of Jane Austen” (1869) by her nephew James Edward Austen-Leigh enjoys the privileged perspective of first-hand knowledge. It also displays the deft touch of a man trained in the compassionate observation of human fallibility & virtue. Austen-Leigh’s highly readable & affectionate account of his aunt offers a vividly compelling portrait of Jane Austen’s habits & personality. Accompanied by Jane Austen’s novella “Lady Susan” & the unfinished “The Watsons,” this edition is simply essential reading for any admirer of a writer whom Virginia Woolf called ‘the most perfect artist among women’.
