This brand-new biography of Jane Austen takes a fresh look at the life and work of the famed author using an innovative technique: Each chapter is based around a small object from Austens daily life. A description of an East Indian shawl owned by the Austen family, for example, leads to a profile of a glamorous and influential cousin born in Calcutta (the basis for several Austen characters), which neatly segues into Janes exposure to--and strong opinions about-- the French Revolution. A silhouette, a card of lace, a writing box, a bathing machine, and many more items all reveal equally unexpected and fascinating details and insights. Enhanced with illustrations and/or colored plates of the featured objects (as well as a newly discovered sketch of the writer), this vivacious, compelling portrait of an author and her work defiantly refuses to foster the illusion that Austen knew little of the world. Paula Byrnes Jane Austen instead emerges as a modern, worldly woman--fiercely independent, endlessly witty, and stubbornly devoted to her literary career.
