Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Jane Austen and Her Works My intention in this book is to present in one volume to an over-wrought and in some respects over-read, generation of young people the most characteristic of Jane Austen´s novels, together with her life. I think the tales and the life are calculated to reflect light on each other; I think, also, that the arrangement of the tales - which I have selected as the author wrote them, and not as they happened to be published, particularly in reference to the fact that the two which I have given first were written more than ten years before "Emma" and "Persuasion" - is an advantage, in permitting the growth of the author´s mind and taste to be recognised. I have used my own judgment in the selection of the stories, and in the degree and manner in which I have condensed them. It is with reverent hands that I have touched these great English novels, for the purpose of bringing them into such compass as may make them readily accessible to all, and especially to young readers, apt to be wearied by the slightest diffuseness. Wherever it has been possible, in view of my aim, I have used the author´s own words, as incomparably the best for the characters and situations.
