<p>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. This delightful volume offers thematic extracts from fiction and correspondence; featuring quotes from such novels as <i>Emma</i>, <i>Northanger Abbey</i>, <i>Pride and Prejudice</i>, <i>Mansfield Park</i> and <i>Persuasion</i>, alongside extracts from Austens letters to her sister and confidante, Cassandra. It contains a host of quotations displaying Austens sharp – indeed, often wicked – social observation and satirical wit, which will be enjoyed by fans of the author as well as readers who are new to her writing. <i><br><br>The Wicked Wit of Jane Austen</i> is a charming tribute to a writer whose work will resonate for centuries to come. Also available in the series are collections from Shakespeare, <i>To Be or Not To Be</i>, and Oscar Wilde, <i>I Can Resist Everything Except Temptation.</i></p>
