SpecificationsAbout the Author Though the domain of Jane Austen’s novels was as circumscribed as her life her caustic wit and keen observation made her the equal of the greatest novelists in any language. Born the seventh child of the rector of Steventon Hampshire on December 16 1775 she was educated mainly at home. At an early age she began writing sketches and satires of popular novels for her family’s entertainment. As a clergyman’s daughter from a well-connected family she had an ample opportunity to study the habits of the middle class the gentry and the aristocracy. At twenty-one she began a novel called “The First Impressions” an early version of Pride and Prejudice. In 1801 on her father’s retirement the family moved to the fashionable resort of Bath. Two years later she sold the first version of Northanger Abby to a London publisher but the first of her novels to appear was Sense and Sensibility published at her own expense in 1811. It was followed by Pride and Prejudice 1813 Mansfield Park 1814 and Emma 1815. After her father died in 1805 the family first moved to Southampton then to Chawton Cottage in Hampshire. Despite this relative retirement Jane Austen was still in touch with a wider world mainly through her brothers; one had become a very rich country gentleman another a London banker and two were naval officers. Though her many novels were published anonymously she had many early and devoted readers among them the Prince Regent and Sir Walter Scott. In 1816 in declining health Austen wrote Persuasion and revised Northanger Abby Her last work Sandition was left unfinished at her death on July 18 1817. She was buried in Winchester Cathedral. Austen’s identity as an author was announced to the world posthumously by her brother Henry who supervised the publication of Northanger Abby and Persuasion in 1818.Author 1 Jane AustenFormat PaperbackEdition Number Revised EditionEditorial Review Stevenson has read all of Austens novels for audiobook in abridged or unabridged versions and her experience shows in this delightful production. Though dominated by the intelligent sweet voice of Anne Elliot—the least favored but most worthy of three daughters in a family with an old name but declining fortunes—Stevenson provides other characters with memorable voices as well. She reads Annes haughty fathers lines with a mixture of stuffiness and bluster and Annes sisters are portrayed with a hilariously flighty breathy register that makes Austens contempt for them palpable. Annes voice is mostly measured and reasonable—an expression of her strong mind and spirit—but Stevenson imbues her speech with wonderful shades of passion as Anne is reacquainted with Capt. Wentworth whom she has continued to love despite being forced years before to reject him over status issues. Listening to Stevenson as Anne describe a sudden encounter with Wentworth one hardly needs Austens description of how Anne grows faint—Stevensons perfectly judged and deeply felt reading has already shown that she must have. Even those who have read Austens novels will find themselves loving this book all over again with Stevensons evocative rendition ringing richly in their ears.ISBN-10 1853260568ISBN-13 9781853260568Language EnglishView Full Specifications SpecificationsAbout the Author Though the domain of Jane Austen’s novels was as circumscribed as her life her caustic wit and keen observation made her the equal of the greatest novelists in any language.
