English novelist Jane Austens beloved works, like Pride and Prejudice, explored the dependence of women on marriage in British high society.--Whether shes describing bickering families, quiet declarations of love, or juicy gossip, Jane Austens writing often feels as though it was written just for you. Her dry wit and cheeky playfulness informs her heroines, whose conversational tone welcomes readers with a conspiratorial wink. Iseult Gillespie explores the sly societal satire and unique tongue-in-cheek humor of Jane Austen.
