JANE AUSTEN
AUTHOR: Carol Shields
PUBLISHED: Pheonix, London. 2001
FORMAT: Pb, 177pp, chronologies, index
CONDITION: Used...ex-library stock, so expect library stamps/marks/stickers.
Some very minor wear but basically in good sound & clean condition.
The author, whose own novels have been compared to those of Jane Austen, has written an observant and revealing biography of this remarkable writer whose characters are as alive today in their longings as they were two hundred years ago, when Jane Austen first gave them breath.
“Shields on Austen offers up a delicious prospect. And we are not disapointed...Both careful writers who delight in the microcosm of home and hearth, who relish every quirk and habit of human nature., Shields and Austen interact throughout this ‘life’ to give an account of a woman that is highly partisan but more revealing in all its subjectivity than a hundred objective biographies could be...An exquisite work.”
