The Confession of Fitzwilliam Darcyby
Mary Street
A
historical romance in which the Pride and Prejudice hero,
Fitzwilliam Darcy, tells of his relationship with his sister
Georgiana, his cousin Fitzwilliam, and the dastardly Wickham.
Excessively
Diverted by Juliette Shapiro
Newlyweds
Mr. and Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy begin their married life at Pemberley
quite blissfully but it is not long before the tranquillity they
relish is cut short by a series of traumas. The formidable Lady
Catherine de Bourgh makes little attempt to hide her distain for
her nephew’s wife. She is joined by Caroline Bingley, as sharp
tongued and resentful as ever, in the shared amusement of
criticising Elizabeth. But the new mistress of Pemberley soon has
more pressing matters on her mind...
The Friendly Jane Austen: A Well-Mannered Introduction to a Lady of Sense and Sensibilityby Natalie C. Tyler
Every
generation rediscovers Jane Austen with a renewed passion for her
timeless stories of romance, family relations, and foibles of
human nature. Today she is more popular than ever. Natalie Tyler
captures the essence of this enthusiasm in a book that shuns
obscure academic approaches and provides lively discussions
about every one of Austen's novels and characters. Readers can
experience the highlights of Austen's early writings, learn about
the man who almost won her hand, and puzzle over what on earth she
meant by the last line of Persuasion. Tyler includes quizzes,
eye-catching illustrations, interviews with Austen scholars and
lovers of her work-such as Jane Smiley, T. C. Boyle, and Miss
Manners-plus a filmography, a bibliography, and browsable quotes
and sidebars to create this wildly entertaining Austen.
Jane Austen: The World of Her Novelsby Deirdre
Le Faye
To
peruse this lovely volume is to step back in time and experience
the world of Georgian and Regency Britain-the world of Jane
Austen's enduringly popular fiction. From grand country houses
to humble villagers' cottages, from formal dinners to intimate
family suppers, from the streets of Bath to the Cobb at Lyme
Regis, the author revisits the places familiar to Austen and her
characters as she explores in depth the social and physical
environment that formed the backdrop for such classics as Pride
and Prejudice, Emma, and Sense and Sensibility. This
meticulously detailed account is an essential source of
background information for all students and enthusiasts of Jane
Austen's books.
