Jane Austen And Her Times is a comprehensive book written by G.E. Mitton that delves into the life and times of one of the most celebrated authors of English literature, Jane Austen. The book explores the social, cultural, and political landscape of the late 18th and early 19th century, the period in which Austen lived and wrote her novels. The book covers a range of topics, including the role of women in society, the class system, fashion, entertainment, and literature. It provides insights into Austen's personal life, her family, and the influences that shaped her writing. The book also examines the reception of Austen's novels during her lifetime and their enduring popularity in modern times.The author uses a mix of primary sources, including letters, diaries, and historical records, to provide a vivid and engaging account of Austen's world. The book is well-researched and provides a wealth of information for readers interested in Austen's life and times. Overall, Jane Austen And Her Times is an informative and enjoyable read that offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of one of England's most beloved authors.The whole tone of Jane's own writings and letters redeems her memory from any possible reproach of affectation, and the evidence all points to the fact that though not averse from a flirtation, she was the very last of all girls to desire a husband! But it is of interest to record contemporary impressions, so as to show both sides of the shield.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
