Few novelists have conveyed the subtleties and nuances of their own social milieu with the wit and insight of Jane Austen. This volume contains her seven great novels:

Taken from the poverty of her parents' home, Fanny Price is brought up with her rich cousins at Mansfield Park, acutely aware of her humble rank and with her cousin Edmund as her sole ally. When the Crawfords arrive in the neighbourhood, they bring the glamour of London life with them.

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." Originally titled First Impressions, Jane Austen's second and most popular novel abounds with wit, intriguing dialogue, and even suspense. In this comedy of manners, the well-to-do (and not so well-to-do) are placed under Austen...

Emma Wodehouse has led a simple life, but during the course of this she at last reaps her share of the world's vexations. In this comedy of manners, the heroine learns to come to terms with the reality of other people, and with her own erring nature.

Though not published in her lifetime, Austen's 'Lady Susan' has since become a readers' favourite among the author's shorter works.

Jane Austen's final novel, 'Persuasion', is the story of Anne Elliot, intelligent daughter of a spendthrift baronet, and her love for Frederick Wentworth. Persuaded to refuse his proposition of marriage, Anne spends seven years unhappy until he re-enters her life.

When adultery disturbs the relatively peaceful household at Mansfield Park, it has quite unexpected effects. The diffident and much put-upon heroine Fanny Price has to struggle to cope with the results, re-examining her own feelings while enduring the views of others.
