Susan Hart-Byers has combed through Jane Austen’s six completed novels to present quotations that demonstrate the universal truths at the heart of her fiction. Organized by topics such as ‘The Battle of the Sexes’, ‘Town and Country’, ‘Love’ and ‘Marriage’, they reveal a sense of Austen herself as well as her writing, with introductory notes to each chapter exploring the enduring appeal of her work.
The enduring appeal of Jane Austen's fiction is captured in this pocket-sized collection of quotations taken from her celebrated works.
The novels of Jane Austen are famed for their ability to perfectly convey the nuances of social interactions in the Regency period. Perhaps what makes the books still so popular is just how recognisable the social situations and character types of two hundred years ago are today. Well-known for her humour, Jane Austen's Universal Truths is a collection of some of Austen's most choice and wry observations. Featuring witticisms on love and marriage, the battle of the sexes, town and country and moral duty, and dipping into all of Jane Austen's six published novels, this collection will delight fans and is the perfect breakdown to introduce a classic author to a new audience. The universal truths are accompanied by illustrations from celebrated artist Polly Fern.
