This collector's edition presents Austen’s final novel published during her lifetime, viewed by literary scholars as both revolutionary and reflective of Austen’s maturity as a novelist; its 1815 publication helped established Austen’s iconic place in literature’s pantheon of great writers. Explores such important themes as the courtship and marriage in the Regency era; manners and etiquette; gender limitations; pride and vanity; and the power of imagination. This is ideal for special-edition book collectors, Jane Austen aficionados, fans of literary fiction and classic literature, and people who love both the book and the movies it inspires.
