Review

"Eight hours longer even than Naxos' complete Sherlock Holmes, this has got to be the audiobook box set of the decade! All six complete major novels are read here in mellifluous and engagingly vital voices which however many times you listen instantly draw you into Jane Austen's world." -- Rachel Redford, The Observer

"Together for the first time, the complete and unabridged audio recordings of Jane Austen s novels handsomely presented in a boxed set. Counting 69 CDs and running over 83 hours, this is the Holy Grail of Austen audio book recording as only Naxos could present with superb readings by Juliet Stevenson, Emilia Fox, and Anna Bentinck. Included are Austen's six major novels, the novella Lady Susan and her unfinished novels Sanditon and The Watsons. This is definitely the essential collector s item. 'Nuff said!" --Laurel Ann, Austenprose.wordpress.com

Book Description

Jane Austen revolutionized the literary romance, using it as a platform from which to address issues of gender politics and class consciousness among the British middle-class of the late eighteenth century. The novels included in the collection - Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, and Lady Susan - represent all of Austen's complete novels, and provide the reader with an entrance into the world she and her memorable characters inhabited.

 

With witty, unflinching morality, Austen portrays English middle-class life as the eighteenth century came to a close and the nineteenth century began. Austin’s heroines find happiness in many forms, each of the novels is a story of love and marriage—marriage for love, financial security and for social status.

 

Complete and unabridged this elegantly designed, cloth bound, hardcover edition is slip cased and features a ribbon marker and period styling.  Also included is an original introduction that provides the reader with enlightening information on Jane Austen’s life and works.

About the Author

Jane Austen was born in 1775 at Steventon, Hampshire. She was the seventh child of the local rector, and her life was by modem standards uneventful. In 1801 she moved with her parents to Bath, but returned to Hampshire when her father died, settling in the village of Chawton.  She remained there until 1817, when she moved to Winchester to be within easy reach of her doctor.   She died that year, aged forty-one and is buried in Winchester Cathedral, which also contains a plaque to her memory. Four of her novels were published anonymously in her lifetime; two more, one of which was Persuasion, appeared posthumously. She never married.

The illustrator, Hugh Thomson (186o-192o), was born in Coleraine, County Londonderry. He sprung to fame as the illustrator of Coaching Days and Coaching Ways, and his delightful nostalgic line drawings were much influenced by Randolph Caldecott. In tum, his work influenced other artists, especially C.E. and H.M. Brock.
