    About this audiobook

    These three works – one novel unpublished in her lifetime and two unfinished fragments – reveal Jane Austen's development as a great artist. Lady Susan, with its wicked, beautiful, intelligent and energetic heroine, is a sparkling melodrama in letters that takes its tone from the outspoken and robust 18th century. Written later, and probably abandoned after her father's death, The Watsons is a tantalising and highly delightful story of vitality and optimism which centres on the marital prospects of the Watson sisters in a small provincial town. Sanditon, her last work, left unfinished at her death, is set in a seaside town. Its themes concern the new speculative consumer society and foreshadow the great social upheavals of the Industrial Revolution.

    Jane Austen

    Jane Austen (1775-1817) var enskur skáldsagnahöfundur þekktur fyrir skarpa gáfur sínar, skarpa innsýn í mannlegt eðli og tímalausa lýsingu á ást, samfélagi og stétt. Hún skrifaði sex stórar skáldsögur, þar á meðal Sense and Sensibility, Emma og Pride and Prejudice, sem hafa heillað lesendur í meira en tvær aldir. Verk hennar eru fræg fyrir gáfaðar athuganir á samfélagsgerð samtímans og flóknum kvenkyns söguhetjum þeirra. Skáldsögur Austen eru enn á meðal þeirra ástsælustu og mest lesnu á enskri tungu.
