About the Book
Published by Rock Point as part of the Timeless Classics line, this 1,232-page hardcover brings together every novel Jane Austen completed, plus her early epistolary novella Lady Susan. Sense and Sensibility introduces the Dashwood sisters, contrasting Elinor's restraint with Marianne's passionate nature as both navigate love and financial hardship. Pride and Prejudice follows sharp-witted Elizabeth Bennet and proud Mr. Darcy through misunderstanding toward mutual respect and love. Mansfield Park centers on quiet, principled Fanny Price as she withstands temptation at her cousins' country estate. Emma traces the misguided matchmaking of confident Emma Woodhouse, who must learn to see her own heart clearly. Northanger Abbey playfully parodies Gothic novels through young Catherine Morland's overactive imagination during a visit to Bath. Persuasion, Austen's most mature work, reunites Anne Elliot with Captain Wentworth years after she was persuaded to reject his proposal. Lady Susan, a short epistolary novel, follows a manipulative widow scheming to secure advantageous marriages for herself and her daughter. Arranged together, the novels trace Austen's development from sparkling social comedy to more reflective, emotionally layered storytelling. The consistent hardcover format, matching the Timeless Classics series design, makes it easy to display alongside companion volumes like The Complete Sherlock Holmes. Whether read cover to cover or dipped into novel by novel, this collection rewards both first-time readers and longtime admirers of Austen's wit, romance, and social observation.
Key Benefits
About the Author
Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English novelist whose six completed novels, along with the novella Lady Susan, established her as one of the most beloved and widely read authors in the English language. Writing during the late Georgian era, she used sharp wit, irony, and closely observed social detail to explore marriage, class, and morality among the British middle class. Though she achieved only modest recognition during her lifetime, Austen's reputation grew steadily after her death, and her novels are now considered classics of world literature, continually adapted for film, television, and stage.
