Letters
Jane Austen's letters provide a unique glimpse into the novelist's daily life: personal and gossipy, perceptive and informed, they read similarly to the books themselves. They bring her family and friends, her surroundings, and current events to life in a way that is unmatched in modern biographies. Above all, we know the author's distinct voice from works like Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility. We can detect a transition in her writing style from humorous and delightful accounts of town and rural social life to a serious and constructive tone when writing about literary creativity.
