Book Description
Inspired by the charming, winning film that will have audiences wanting to know more about Jane Austen, this is a collection of her most famous and quotable quotes -- the pearls of wisdom on topics like men, marriage, gossip, and relationships that are as true today as they were in 1789
It is a truth universally acknowledged . . . that Jane Austen’s pearls of wisdom and barbs of wit are some of the most well-known, wise, and funny around. This handy, highly giftable book collects the best-known bits from Emma, Persuasion, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Sense and Sensibility, and Northanger Abbey, and groups them into categories like "Men," "Balls," and "Marriage" so that readers can easily find the perfect quote for any occasion. For readers whose curiosity about Austen has been piqued by Miramax Films’ Becoming Jane, this book will be irresistible.
