A concise and fascinating biography of one of the world's undisputed literary titans
‘This delicious acorn of a book is as spare, elegant and to-the-point as the literary oak it describes.’ – Emma Thompson
Jane Austen lived to just 41, never married, never had children, lived all her life in the south of England and rarely strayed far from the genteel and orthodox social circle into which she was born.

Her novels are beloved by readers all over the world who continue to be inspired, beguiled and delighted by her often comic and always shrewd insights into the calculations and complexities of human hearts and minds.
Jane Austen: The Life of a Literary Titan gets to the heart of this enigmatic woman, and to the enduring qualities in her work which make it so universally loved and admired.
