Chapmans fine new edition has  among its other merits  the advantage of waking the Jane Austenite up.... The novels continue to live their own wonderful internal life...freshened and enriched by contact with the life of facts. His illustrations are beyond all praise.\"--E.M. Forster  Abinger Harvest.  This beautiful set provides the definitive text of Austens six great comic masterpieces and her minor works (the latter include three high-spirited efforts written at about age fifteen; a charming fragment  The Watsons  which has been thought to be a sketch for Emma; and a tantalizing fragment  Sanditon  written in the last year of her life). All six volumes feature splendid early 19th-century illustrations as well as Chapmans detailed explanatory notes. Chapman has collated all the editions published in the authors lifetime and previously unpublished manuscripts  establishing an authoritative text that retains the punctuation  the spelling  and division into volumes of the originals. In addition  at the end of each work he supplies notes on textual matters and appendixes on such matters as the modes of address  or characters  or carriages and travel  as these seem warranted by the text. Additional changes have been incorporated by Mary Lascelles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946751324213,"sku":"ByrdShop_0192547070","price":312.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780192547071.jpg?v=1769964775","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-oxford-illustrated-jane-austen-six-volume-set","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
