Jane Austen

Overview
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen is eminently, delightfully, and delectably quotable. This truth goes far beyond the first line of <i>Pride and Prejudice</i>, which has muscled out many other excellent sentences. So many gems of wit and wisdom from her novels deserve to be better known, from <i>Northanger Abbey</i> on its lovable, naive heroine—“if adventures will not befal a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad”—to <i>Persuasion</i>’s moving lines of love from its regret-filled hero: “You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late.”<br> <br> Devoney Looser, a.k.a. Stone Cold Jane Austen, has drawn 378 genuine, Austen-authored passages from across the canon, resulting in an anthology that is compulsively readable and repeatable. Whether you approach the collection on a one-a-day model or in a satisfying binge read, you will emerge wiser about Austen, if not about life. <i>The Daily Jane Austen</i> will amuse and inspire skeptical beginners, Janeite experts, and every reader in between by showcasing some of the greatest sentences ever crafted in the history of fiction.
