'Young women who have no economic or political power must attend to the serious business of contriving material security'. Jane Austen's sardonic humour lays bare the stratagems, the hypocrisy and the poignancy inherent in the struggle of two very different sisters to achieve respectability. Sense and Sensibility is a delightful comedy of manners in which the sisters Elinor and Marianne represent these two qualities. Elinor's character is one of Augustan detachment, while Marianne, a fervent disciple of the Romantic Age, learns to curb her passionate nature in the interests of survival. This book, the first of Austen's novels to be published, remains as fresh a cautionary tale today as it ever was.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePride and Prejudice: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIntroduction and Notes by Dr Ian Littlewood, University of Sussex. Pride and Prejudice, which opens with one of the most famous sentences in English Literature, is an ironic novel of manners. In it the garrulous and empty-headed Mrs Bennet has only one aim - that of finding a good match for each of her five daughters. In this she is mocked by her cynical and indolent husband. With its wit, its social precision and, above all, its irresistible heroine, Pride and Prejudice has proved one of the most enduringly popular novels in the English language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePersuasion: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIntroduction and Notes by Elaine Jordan, Reader in Literature, University of Essex. What does persuasion mean - a firm belief, or the action of persuading someone to think something else? Anne Elliot is one of Austen's quietest heroines, but also one of the strongest and the most open to change. She lives at the time of the Napoleonic wars, a time of accident, adventure, the making of new fortunes and alliances. A woman of no importance, she manoeuvres in her restricted circumstances as her long-time love Captain Wentworth did in the wars. Even though she is nearly thirty, well past the sell-by bloom of youth, Austen makes her win out for herself and for others like herself, in a regenerated society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNorthanger Abbey: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIntroduction and Notes by David Blair, University of Kent. Northanger Abbey tells the story of a young girl, Catherine Morland who leaves her sheltered, rural home to enter the busy, sophisticated world of Bath in the late 1790s. Austen observes with insight and humour the interaction between Catherine and the various characters whom she meets there, and tracks her growing understanding of the world about her. In this, her first full-length novel, Austen also fixes her sharp, ironic gaze on other kinds of contemporary novel, especially the Gothic school made famous by Ann Radcliffe. Catherine's reading becomes intertwined with her social and romantic adventures, adding to the uncertainties and embarrassments she must undergo before finding happiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMansfield Park: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIntroduction and Notes by Dr Ian Littlewood, University of Sussex. Adultery is not a typical Jane Austen theme, but when it disturbs the relatively peaceful household at Mansfield Park, it has quite unexpected results. 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 cheerful amorality, old-fashioned indifference and priggish disapproval of those around her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLady Susan and Other Works: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWith an Introduction, explanatory notes, and annotated bibliography by Nicholas Seager. This collection brings together Jane Austen's earliest experiments in the art of fiction and novels that she left incomplete at the time of her premature death in 1817. Her fragmentary juvenilia show Austen developing her own sense of narrative form whilst parodying popular kinds of fiction of her day. Lady Susan is a wickedly funny epistolary novel about a captivating but unscrupulous widow seeking to snare husbands for her daughter and herself. The Watsons explores themes of family relationships, the marriage market, and attitudes to rank, which became the hallmarks of her major novels. In Sanditon, Austen exercises her acute powers of social observation in the setting of a newly fashionable seaside resort. These novels are here joined by shorter fictions that survive in Austen's manuscripts, including critically acclaimed works like Catharine, Love and Freindship [sic], and The History of England.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEmma: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWith an Introduction and Notes by Dr Nicola Bradbury, University of Reading. Jane Austen teased readers with the idea of a 'heroine whom no one but myself will much like', but Emma is irresistible. 'Handsome, clever, and rich', Emma is also an 'imaginist', 'on fire with speculation and foresight'. She sees the signs of romance all around her, but thinks she will never be married. Her matchmaking maps out relationships that Jane Austen ironically tweaks into a clearer perspective. Judgement and imagination are matched in games the reader too can enjoy, and the end is a triumph of understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"goodreadr\" data-isbn=\"9781840227482\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","published_at":"2020-07-16T17:57:57+01:00","created_at":"2020-07-16T17:57:55+01:00","vendor":"Wordsworth Editions Ltd","type":"Fiction","tags":["Age_Adult","Author_Jane Austen","Binding_Paperback","Boxing Day","Classics","Fiction"],"price":1599,"price_min":1599,"price_max":1599,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":1999,"compare_at_price_min":1999,"compare_at_price_max":1999,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":32821126201443,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"B2D2935","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Jane Austen Wordsworth 7 Books - Adult - Paperback","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":1599,"weight":1370,"compare_at_price":1999,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"9781840227482","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/young-adult-jane-austen-wordsworth-7-books-young-adult-paperback-1.jpg?v=1633753176","\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/young-adult-jane-austen-wordsworth-7-books-young-adult-paperback-2.jpg?v=1633753171","\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/young-adult-jane-austen-wordsworth-7-books-young-adult-paperback-3.jpg?v=1633753168","\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/young-adult-jane-austen-wordsworth-7-books-young-adult-paperback-4.jpg?v=1633753164"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/young-adult-jane-austen-wordsworth-7-books-young-adult-paperback-1.jpg?v=1633753176","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Jane Austen Wordsworth 7 Books - Young Adult - Paperback Young Adult Wordsworth Editions","id":7757673922659,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":2000,"width":1999,"src":"\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/young-adult-jane-austen-wordsworth-7-books-young-adult-paperback-1.jpg?v=1633753176"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":2000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/young-adult-jane-austen-wordsworth-7-books-young-adult-paperback-1.jpg?v=1633753176","width":1999},{"alt":"Jane Austen Wordsworth 7 Books - Young Adult - Paperback Young Adult Wordsworth Editions","id":7757674905699,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":2000,"width":1999,"src":"\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/young-adult-jane-austen-wordsworth-7-books-young-adult-paperback-2.jpg?v=1633753171"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":2000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/young-adult-jane-austen-wordsworth-7-books-young-adult-paperback-2.jpg?v=1633753171","width":1999},{"alt":"Jane Austen Wordsworth 7 Books - Young Adult - Paperback Young Adult Wordsworth Editions","id":7757675298915,"position":3,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":2000,"width":2000,"src":"\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/young-adult-jane-austen-wordsworth-7-books-young-adult-paperback-3.jpg?v=1633753168"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":2000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/young-adult-jane-austen-wordsworth-7-books-young-adult-paperback-3.jpg?v=1633753168","width":2000},{"alt":"Jane Austen Wordsworth 7 Books - Young Adult - Paperback Young Adult Wordsworth Editions","id":7757675888739,"position":4,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":2000,"width":1999,"src":"\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/young-adult-jane-austen-wordsworth-7-books-young-adult-paperback-4.jpg?v=1633753164"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":2000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.books2door.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/young-adult-jane-austen-wordsworth-7-books-young-adult-paperback-4.jpg?v=1633753164","width":1999}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitles in This Set:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSense and Sensibility: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePride and Prejudice: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePersuasion: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNorthanger Abbey: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMansfield Park: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLady Susan and Other Works: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmma: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription :\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSense and Sensibility: (Wordsworth Classics)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIntroduction and Notes by Professor Stephen Arkin, San Francisco University.
