Book Synopsis

Featuring a host of quotations displaying Austen’s sharp - and indeed, often wicked - social observation and satirical wit, this funny and wise book will strike a chord with fans of the author as well as readers new to her writing.

Lauded for her eloquence, observation and wry humour, Jane Austen was a novelist who was highly regarded and greatly celebrated in her own time. However, her appeal is as great as ever, and her insights remain as fresh and relevant today as when they were first published.

Beautifully packaged and published to tie-in with the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth, this delightful and absorbing collection of thematic extracts from her beloved novels such as Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Persuasion, as well as extracts from Austen’s letters, compiles the author’s sharpest, most profound and amusing observations on human nature, money, marriage, life and society, and more. The Wicked Wit of Jane Austen is a charming tribute to a writer whose work will resonate for centuries to come.
