A beautiful boxed set of seven Hardcover Classics by Jane Austen,
including Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Emma,
Persuasion, Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey, and Love and
Freindship
Few novelists have conveyed the subtleties and nuances of their own
social milieu with the wit and insight of Jane Austen. Through her
vivacious and spirited heroines and their circle, she painted vivid
portraits of English middle-class life as the eighteenth century came to
a close. Each of these novels is a love story and a story about
marriage--marriage for love, for financial security, for social status.
But they are not mere romances. Ironic, comic, and wise, they are
masterly studies of the society Austen observed. The seven books in this
box set--Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park,
Emma, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, and Love and Freindship (early
writings and juvenilia)--contain some of the most brilliant, dazzling
prose in the English language. Part of Penguin's beautiful Hardcover
Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith,
these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality,
tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.
