—Unlike her fictional heroines, Jane Austen never wed, and her six remarkable novels, Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Sense and Sensibility, Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park, and Persuasion largely exist due to this fact. Down to our own day,Austen's popularity among readers is rivaled only by that of Shakespeare and Dickens. This becomes all the more notable when one considers that she deals neither with death nor religion nor with the grand events of world history. Her subject, simply, is court-ship, and her books end the same way-
with marriage. But she wrote with such wit and vitality about the era in which she lived that she has become a timeless classic.

This lively and down-to-earth biographical-critical study goes right to the heart of Austen's life and work. Following a concise biography, June Dwyer considers in detail each of the novels, one per chapter, while also discussing, in separate chapters, three short Works (two of them unfinished), Lady Susan, The Watsons, and Sanditon, and Austen’s Juvenilia & Letters.
