Five books in one. In one volume, five of Jane Austen's most beloved and significant works, including three of her "lost" works that were only discovered and published posthumously. In this volume: Mansfield Park (originally published in 1814) - Emma (originally published in 1815) - Lady Susan (written in 1794, but originally published in 1871) - The Watsons (written in 1804, but originally published in 1871) - Sanditon (written in 1817, but originally published in 1925) Jane Austen (1775-1817) was born in Hampshire, England, to George Austen, a rector, and his wife, Cassandra. Her novels include Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), Emma (1815), and Northanger Abbey and Persuasion , published together posthumously in 1818. A short epistolary novel, Lady Susan , and another unfinished work, The Watsons , were publish posthumously in 1871, and a final unfinished novel, Sanditon , was eventually published in 1925. Her works are considered to be among the finest examples of early 19th century British literature, hallmarks of the transition to 19th century literary realism.
