A Memoir Of Jane Austen And Other Family Recollections by James Edward Austen-Leigh

And Other Family Recollections

A warm, intimate family portrait that collects memories, anecdotes, and letters to reconstruct the character, habits, and domestic life of a beloved novelist; it portrays her as modest, witty, observant, and devoted to family, describes the people, places, and everyday scenes that shaped her, offers sketches of relatives and contemporary reception, and preserves personal details and corrections to public misconceptions while illuminating the private roots of her fiction.
