Description
By focusing on the woman rather than the author, Tucker paints a new and welcome portrait of Jane Austen: not the spinster recluse of previous biographies, but a vibrant, well-traveled woman who was very much a part of the world in which she lived. Tucker's goal is not to tell us more about Austen's writing but to tell her personal history - her environment, her friendships, her romantic attachments. The product of over fifty years of research, Jane Austen the Woman presents previously unpublished biographical material - including some from Austen's collateral descendants - that has hitherto gone undetected by a legion of Austen sleuths. George Holbert Tucker has written a highly readable, enjoyable book that will delight both Austen fans and those who are discovering her for the first time.
