Book Description:
Jane Austen (1775-1817) is considered by many scholars to be the first great woman novelist. Her novels revolve around people, not events or coincidences. Miss Austen sets her novels in the upper middle class English country which was her own environment.

Her novels have increased in stature over time. Her skills of writing, including a dry humor and a witty elegance of expression have attracted generations to her work.

Miss Austen completed six novels and part of a seventh, "Sense and Sensibility", "Pride and Prejudice", "Mansfield Park", "Emma", "Northanger Abbey", "Persuasion" and the partial "Lady Susan". Quiet Vision publishes all seven.

Abridged to 3 hours on 2 cassettes. Read by Sophie Thompson, who played Miss Bates in the film version that starred Gwyneth Paltrow. I thought the abridgement (is that the word?) was well done, and Thompson does a great job reading (especially the Miss Bates character, of course).
