    About this ebook

    Jane Austen turns the traditional romantic novel on its head in this story of a serial seductress who is trying to make the most profitable matches possible for herself and her daughter. Told in the form of letters, this scandalous early (1794) work was not published until years after the author’s death.

    Author

    Jane Austen

    Jane Austen was born in 1775 in rural Hampshire, the daughter of an affluent village rector who encouraged her in her artistic pursuits. In novels such as Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma she developed her subtle analysis of contemporary life through depictions of the middle-classes in small towns. Her sharp wit and incisive portraits of ordinary people have given her novels enduring popularity. She died in 1817.
