Description: A fine clean First Edition copy of this acclaimed biography, "Jane Austen : A Life", by David Nokes, published by Fourth Estate of London in 1997. "Pictures of perfection make me sick and wicked", wrote Jane Austen a few months before she died. In this new biography, David Nokes has re-examined her life and presents a picture of her which is less perfect but more full of dangerous excitement. Working from previously unpublished sources, he discloses the truth behind several disturbing Austen family secrets, and presents the conflicts in Jane Austen's mind between her love of rural tranquillity and her restless fascination with the lure of wealth and fame. Hard covers, 578 pages, original dust jacket. Ref. JADN/D3. FREE DELIVERY WITHIN MAINLAND UK : FULLY INSURED WORLDWIDE SHIPPING VIA ROYAL MAIL AIR FREIGHT.
