Krátky popis
Who was the real Jane Austen? Overturning the traditional portrait
of the author as conventional and genteel, bestseller Paula Byrne’s
landmark biography reveals the real woman behind the books. In this
new biography, bestselling author Paula Byrne (author of Perdita,
Mad World) explores the forces that shaped the interior life of
Britain’s most beloved novelist: her father’s religious faith, her
mother’s aristocratic pedigree, her eldest brother’s adoption, her
other brothers’ naval and military experiences, her relatives in
the East and West Indies, her cousin who lived through the trauma
of the French Revolution, the family’s amateur theatricals, the
female novelists she admired, her residence in Bath, her love of
the seaside, her travels around England and her long struggle to
become a published author. Byrne uses a highly innovative technique
whereby each chapter begins from an object that conjures up a key
moment or theme in Austen’s life and work—a silhouette, a vellum
notebook, a topaz cross, a laptop writing box, a royalty cheque, a
bathing machine, and many more. The woman who emerges in this
biography is far tougher, more socially and politically aware, and
altogether more modern than the conventional picture of ‘dear Aunt
Jane’ would allow. Published to coincide with the bicentenary of
Pride and Prejudice, this lively and scholarly biography brings
Austen dazzlingly into the twenty-first century.
