In this insightful "Brief Lives" volume, Peter Ackroyd examines the life of Jane Austen, the woman who transformed the English novel through her sharp social observation and mastery of irony. Ackroyd navigates the seemingly quiet life Austen led in the Hampshire countryside, revealing the keen, often biting intelligence that allowed her to dissect the nuances of class, money, and marriage in Regency England.
