Jane Austen

The renowned English author Jane Austen (1775-1816) is best known for Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Emma. First early editions, as well as sets of her works, including illustrated editions, can always be found on the shelves of Shapero Rare books.

Austen's novels are celebrated for their refined wit and subtlety, allowing the reader to gain a fascinating insight into life in early 19th century England. The timelessness of her novels however, and the themes therein, ensure that they continue to be adapted for screen (both large and small) and stage.
