La obra de James Edward Austen-Leigh sienta las bases para todas las biografías posteriores de la célebre escritora Recién iniciada la Biblioteca Jane Austen en nuestro catálogo, en edición de lujo en tela, y con una gran parte de las obras de Jane Austen publicadas también, creemos imprescindible presentar las memorias que escribió su sobrino James Edward Austen-Leigh en 1869 y que sentarían las bases para todas las biografías posteriores de la célebre autora. James Edward Austen-Leigh contó con la ayuda de sus hermanas Anna y Caroline frente a la rivalidad de la otra rama de la familia, los Knight-Knatchbull, que se negaron a entregar una parte de la correspondencia de la autora. Es así como se forjó una visión particular, sin secretos ni devaneos oscuros que pudieran enturbiar la dulcificada vida de la célebre escritora. I like the vibe of this bio of Jane Austen, written by one of her nephews. It was like, here’s the deal: there’s not a whole lot that was saved, I was a kid when she was alive, so here’s what I’ve managed to scrape together. As such, it kind of wandered from topic to topic, but I liked the affection and respect in his writing, and I learned a few things I didn’t know. I thought it was neat he included a discarded chapter of Persuasion, the Austen book I’m planning to reread this year, and I loved that Jane Austen told her family the futures she imagined for her characters after the books’ endings. A pleasant, quick read for Austen fans. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
When James Edward Austen-Leigh's Memoir of his famous aunt was published in 1870, far from satisfying public curiosity about Jane Austen as the family had intended, it simply raised a series of new questions, particularly about Jane Austen's unpublished work, which had been mentioned only in passing. Austen Leigh was persuaded to issue a much-expanded second edition in 1871. Here he included for the first time the complete texts of Jane Austen's novel in letters, Lady Susan, and the fragmentary novel The Watsons, as well as a brief summary of her last unfinished work, later known as Sanditon. At the same time he took the opportunity to revise the biographical sections of the Memoir partly to include new information that had come to light since the first edition, so that all in all the second edition has a significance for Austen scholars quite separate from the first.
