Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jane Austen's novels are classics. They have never been out of print, and have continuously been turned into countless movies and TV series, yet her works still remain largely misunderstood. On their surface, Austen's novels all involve characters from provincial communities in rural England, far removed geographically and thematically from greater social movements, war, industry, colonization, and imperialism. This impression could not be further from the truth. Jane Austen For Beginners explores the intentions behind Austen's work. Her examination of money and power, of the marriage market, of social class, and of the rending of the British social fabric of her day are among her many concerns. Jane Austen For Beginners will foster a deeper appreciation and understanding of Austen's greatest stories and most memorable characters.

Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "Emma & Persuasion" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. "Emma" – Emma Woodhouse has just attended the wedding of Miss Taylor, her friend and former governess, to Mr. Weston. Having introduced them, Emma takes credit for their marriage, and decides that she likes matchmaking. Against the advice of her brother-in-law, Emma forges ahead with her new interest, causing many controversies in the process. Set in the fictional village of Highbury, Emma is a tale about youthful hubris and the perils of misconstrued romance. "Persuasion" – Anne Elliot is a young Englishwoman of 27 years, whose family is moving to lower their expenses and get out of debt, at the same time as the wars come to an end, putting sailors on shore. They rent their home to an Admiral and his wife. Brother of Admiral's wife is Navy Captain Frederick Wentworth, a man who had been engaged to Anne when she was 19, and now they meet again, both single and unattached, after no contact in more than seven years. First time the engagement was broken up because Anne's family persuaded her that Frederick wasn't good enough opportunity. The new situation offers a second, well-considered chance at love and marriage for Anne Elliot in her second "bloom".

Jane Austen's most highly praised genre fiction novel is her second published book, Pride and Prejudice, which was originally published in 1813 and remains a best selling book in the present day. Jane Austen's Regency genre fiction novels have inspired a large number of critical essays and literary anthologies. Her success as a published writer quickly surpassed the borders of Britain and allowed Jane Austen to garner international fame. Her major works include, literature & fiction classics Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park, and Emma. Jane Austen also wrote two additional Regency genre fiction novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, two books which were published posthumously in 1818. This literature & fiction anthology edition includes Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Persuasion considered by many to be Jane Austen's three best classics. Jane Austen's work is often categorized in the Romance genre, however the title of her books Sense and Sensibility as well as Pride and Prejudice, and Persuasion all may be suggestive of political conflicts of the late 1700's and early 1800's. This literature & fiction anthology edition includes the three classic Jane Austen novels Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Persuasion which all are often required textbook reading for many literature and humanities courses.
