Jane Austen
Jane Austen is the celebrated biography by bestselling author Claire Tomalin. A perfect biography: detailed witty warm. Tomalin involves us so deeply that Austen's final illness and death come almost as a personal tragedy to the reader". (Dirk Bogarde Daily Telegraph Books of the Year). "Truly marvellous. I cannot think that a better life of Jane Austen then Claire Tomalin's will be written for many years. Her readings of the novels are full of brilliant insights. She often seems to be standing behind Austen's desk observing her writing". (Philip Hensher Mail on Sunday). "As near perfect a Life of Austen as we are likely to get: intelligent feeling suggestive. Tomalin presents Austen as remarkably clever; sensitive but sentimental; tough yet observant; guarded; and a woman with the devil
of a genius in her". (Carmen Callil Daily Telegraph). "Tomalin has written a biography that reflects Austen's own exacting standards a book that radiates intelligence wit and insight". (Michiko Kakutani The New York Times). "Of all the Austen biographies this is the best.. .leaves the reader with a much deeper appreciation of the circumstances and motivation behind the creation of those six perfect novels". (Harpers & Queen). From the acclaimed author of Samuel Pepys: The Unequalled Self Charles Dickens: A Life and The Invisible Woman this virtuoso biography is invaluable reading for lovers of Jane Austen everywhere. Claire Tomalin is the award-winning author of eight highly acclaimed biographies including: The Life and Death of Mary Wollstonecraft; Shelley and His World; Katherine
Mansfield: A Secret Life; The Invisible Woman: The Story of Nelly Ternan and Charles Dickens; Mrs Jordan's Profession; Jane Austen: A Life; Samuel Pepys: The Unequalled Self; Thomas Hardy: The Time-Torn Man and most recently Charles Dickens: A Life. A former literary editor of the New Statesman and the Sunday Times she is married to the playwright and novelist Michael Frayn."
