About this Item

The 5 books are housed In the original stiff card slipcase, buckram covered, showing the Routledge logo in gilt on top. The 5 Titles (Actually consisting of TEN SEPARATE BOOKS) are as follows : - Volume 1: Grand Larceny (1937) by Frank Douglas MacKinnon. Recollections of the Early Days of the Vine Hunt (1865) by James Edward Austen-Leigh. Volume 2: Jane Austen: Her Homes and Her Friends (1902) by Constance Hill. Volume 3: Chawton Manor and Its Owners: A Family History (1911) by William Austen Leigh and Montagu George Knight. Volume 4: Pedigree of Austen of Horsmonden, Broadford, Grovehurst, Kippington, Capel Manor, etc. (1940) by Richard A. Austen-Leigh. Austen Papers 1704-1856 (1942) by Richard A. Austen-Leigh. Volume 5: Jane Austen and Steventon (1937) by Emma Austen-Leigh. Jane Austen and Bath (1939) by Emma Austen-Leigh. Jane Austen and Lyme Regis (1941) by Richard A. Austen-Leigh. Jane Austen and Southampton (1949) by Richard A. Austen-Leigh. This 5 volume set was created to bring together in one place several publications about Jane Austen's family history, focusing mainly on books that Austen family members published. Several of these books were extremely scarce at the time of publication and some had not been reprinted, creating difficulties for scholars and serious fans. In the intervening years, a few more of these books have been reprinted, but some are still difficult or impossible to find. David Gilson was enlisted to write introductions to all the material. A BRIGHT, CLEAN, TIGHT Near 'As New' Set. High-quality facsimiles are reproduced on high-quality paper, bound in dark blue buckram cloth with gilt titles on the spine. All books are in 'Like New' condition. This is the first edition. The set was published by Routledge priced at c. �1200. There are a few tiny negligible, hardly seen, marks from storageon the slipcase, but it is tight and near As New. Each Book looks unused and there are NO Inscriptions or marks. Once removed from the slipcase the rear of the inner slipcase has some sunning in 'book shaped streaks' to the light card back 'wall', but this is due to light filtering in over the 30 years since publication. Not seen unless you remove all books! . But is why I haven't given this set an higher grading than Near Fine. Printed and bound in Great Britain by Athenaeum Press, Ltd. An Excellent, handsome, seemingly unused, bright, tight and very clean set that seems now to be Very Scarce. See Images. Further images available on request. ; each volume 8vo 8" - 9" tall.

About this title

Synopsis

There have been more studies, critical books, and learned articles produced over the years about Jane Austen than of any other English literary "great" with the exception of William Shakespeare. The flow of these studies greatly increased in the latter part of this century. Her novels, juvenilia and surviving letters have been intensively researched. Added to this, there is an ever growing interest in her life, times, the importance to her writing of a sense of place, and in her familial and social relationships. To study her work within this wider context, the student needs to refer to the source texts, some written by members of her family after her death, printed in small printings and now both scarce and valuable.

From the Back Cover

Having chosen to publish anonymously during her lifetime, Jane Austen is enjoying extraordinary fame and fortune today as a best-selling author. In recent years, Jane Austen has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity--her books have been made into films, real box-office powerhouses, and gorgeous television mini-series starring some of the most notable actors of the day. � Stunning collector's edition features four of Jane Austen's popular novels: Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Northanger Abbey � Jane Austen coninues to be a best-selling author and favorite author among book clubs � Bound in supple leather with padded covers, gold foil stamping, and pretty gilded edges, Jane Austen is an essential book for fans of English literature around the world
