Cloth. Condition: Very Good. The Eversley edition of this biography on Jane Austen written by her nephew J. E. Austen Leigh, bound with 'Lady Susan' and two other unfinished works by the celebrated author. From Macmillan's 'Eversley series'. The memoir was first published in 1869. The memoir combined with 'Lady Susan' was first published in 1871 then transferred to Macmillan & Co in 1898.Illustrated with a portrait frontispiece produced for the memoir and illuminated letters.This volume includes the memoir of Jane Austen combined with 'Lady Susan', an epistolary novella which Austen did not submit for publication, and two other unfinished works.This biography on Jane Austen was written by her nephew James Edward Austen-Leigh who lovingly referred to her as 'dear Aunt Jane'. The work was compiled from memories and papers from Jane Austen's relatives, although deciding which elements of her life should be kept secret from the public caused some disagreements between the family members and resulted in Austen's sister, Cassandra Austen, destroying many of her letters to keep some elements of her life private.

Sixth edition. Original black cloth with gilt titles and decorations to the spine and blind stamped decorations to the boards. With a black and white tissue-guarded frontispiece portrait of Jane Austen. A very good copy, the binding firm, with a little wear to the corners and spine tips, the spine slightly rolled. There are a few small marks to the bottom edge of the closed text-block and some offsetting and faint spotting to the prelims, the contents are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. The first full-length biography of Jane Austen, written and compiled by her nephew, James Edward Austen Leigh, with the help of his sisters and other family members. The epistolary novella 'Lady Susan', unpublished in Austen's lifetime, was first published as an addition to the 1871 second edition of Austen Leigh's memoir, along with an unpublished chapter of 'Persuasion' and fragments of the unfinished novels 'Sanditon' and 'The Watsons'. Austen Leigh's memoir provides a valuable early description of Austen's life, and vitally includes the first-hand recollections of people who had known her. However, as was usual for the time, it conforms to Victorian society's expectations of female character. Later critics have accused Austen Leigh of characterising Austen as a demure, domestic 'Aunt Jane' figure that does not accommodate for the acerbic wit found woven throughout her writing. 'Lady Susan' was adapted into the critically acclaimed 2016 film 'Love and Friendship', directed by Whit Stillman and starring Kate Beckinsale and Chloe Sevigny. 'Sanditon' was adapted into a television series that was broadcast on ITV and PBS between 2019 and 2023. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.
