The wicked wit of Jane Austen - Jane Austen

Dominique Enright brings together some of Austen's most famous sayings with some less well-known witticisms. The Wicked Wit of Jane Austen is an absorbing collection of the
author's sharpest, most profound and amusing observations - on human
nature, money, marriage, life and society - taken from her novels and
from her extremely entertaining letters. Austen's social insights remain
as fresh today as when they were first published, and this delightful
volume offers the reader a thematic distillation of her novels and
letters. It also contains numerous quotes displaying Austen's sharp -
indeed, often wicked - social observation and satirical wit. Easy to dip
in to, and highly quotable, this beautifully decorated volume will
delight all Austen devotees, as well as readers less familiar with her
life and work.
