Catherine is invited by the Allens, her wealthier neighbours in Fullerton, to accompany them to visit the town of Bath and partake in the winter season of balls, theatre and other social delights. She is soon introduced to a clever young gentleman, Henry Tilney, with whom she dances and converses. Through Mrs. Allen's old schoolfriend Mrs. Thorpe, she meets her daughter Isabella, a vivacious and flirtatious young woman, and the two quickly become friends. Mrs. Thorpe's son John is also a friend of Catherine's older brother, James, at Oxford where they are both students.The Thorpes are not happy about Catherine's friendship with the Tilneys, as they correctly perceive Henry as a rival for Catherine's affections, though Catherine is not at all interested in the crude John Thorpe. Catherine tries to maintain her friendships with both the Thorpes and the Tilneys, though John Thorpe continuously tries to sabotage her relationship with the Tilneys. This leads to several misunderstandings, which put Catherine in the awkward position of having to explain herself to the Tilneys.Isabella and James become engaged. James' father approves of the match and offers his son a country parson's living of a modest sum, £400 annually, but they must wait until he can obtain the benefice in two and a half years. Isabella is dissatisfied, but to Catherine she misrepresents her distress as being caused solely by the delay, and not by the value of the sum. Isabella immediately begins to flirt with Captain Tilney, Henry's older brother. Innocent Catherine cannot understand her friend's behaviour, but Henry understands all too well, as he knows his brother's character and habits.The Tilneys invite Catherine to stay with them for a few weeks at their home, Northanger Abbey. Catherine, in accordance with her novel reading, expects the abbey to be exotic and frightening. Henry teases her about this, as it turns out that Northanger Abbey is pleasant and decidedly not Gothic. However, the house includes a mysterious suite of rooms that no one ever enters; Catherine learns that they were the apartments of Mrs. Tilney, who died nine years earlier. As General Tilney no longer appears to be ill affected by her death, Catherine decides that he may have murdered her or even imprisoned her in her chamber.Catherine discovers that her over-active imagination has led her astray, as nothing is strange or distressing in the apartments. Unfortunately, Henry questions her; he surmises, and informs her that his father loved his wife in his own way and was truly upset by her death. She leaves, crying, fearing that she has lost Henry's regard entirely. Realizing how foolish she has been, Catherine comes to believe that, though novels may be delightful, their content does not relate to everyday life. Henry does not mention this incident to her again.

They have an older half-brother, John, and a younger sister, Margaret, 13.The novel follows the three Dashwood sisters as they must move with their widowed mother from the estate on which they grew up, Norland Park. Because Norland is passed down to John, the product of Mr. Dashwood's first marriage, and his young son, the four Dashwood women need to look for a new home. They have the opportunity to rent a modest home, Barton Cottage, on the property of a distant relative, Sir John Middleton. There they experience love, romance, and heartbreak. The novel is likely set in southwest England, London, and Sussex between 1792 and 1797.The novel, which sold out its first print run of 750 copies in the middle of 1813, marked a success for its author.

In March 2020, there were 20 different editions available as new books.Henry Dashwood, his second wife, and their three daughters live for many years with Henry's wealthy bachelor uncle at Norland Park, a large country estate in Sussex. That uncle decides, in late life, to will the use and income only of his property first to Henry, then to Henry's first son (by his first marriage) John Dashwood, so that the property should pass intact to John's three-year-old son Harry. The uncle dies, but Henry lives just a year after that and he is unable in such short time to save enough money for his wife Mrs Dashwood, and their daughters, Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret, who are left only a small income. On his deathbed, Mr Henry Dashwood extracts a promise from his son John to take care of his half-sisters. But before Henry is long in the grave, John's greedy wife, Fanny, persuades her husband to renege on the promise, appealing to his concerns about diminishing his own son Harry's inheritance, despite the fact that John is already independently wealthy thanks to both his inheritance from his mother, and his wife's dowry. Henry Dashwood's love for his second family is also used by Fanny to arouse her husband's jealousy, and persuade him not to help his sisters financially.John and Fanny immediately move in as the new owners of Norland, while the Dashwood women are treated as unwelcome guests by a spiteful Fanny. Mrs Dashwood seeks somewhere else to live. In the meantime, Fanny's brother, Edward Ferrars, visits Norland and is attracted to Elinor. Fanny disapproves of their budding romance, and offends Mrs Dashwood by implying that Elinor must be motivated by his expectations of coming into money.

Orgueil et préjugés (1813) est le roman le plus populaire de l'illustre auteur Jane Austen. L'histoire en est simple : Elizabeth Bennet, qui se croit dédaignée par Darcy, jeune homme riche et hautain, s'amourache d'un bel officier, Wickham. Au roman sentimental et de coup de foudre, Jane Austen substitue celui qui décrit l'évolution d'une psychologie plus complexe, où se mêlent la raison, le sentiment de gratitude, la méfiance à l'égard des " premières impressions ". L'abondance des menus événements, qui passionnent autant que de grandes aventures, fait l'un des charmes du roman britannique. Elle se combine avec la finesse d'une analyse entièrement intégrée à la description du comportement, et avec un humour discret, mais toujours présent.

Lady Susan Vernon is a calculating coquette, encouraging the attentions of several men at once; but this time she goes too far and has to accept the fate that she has prepared for her own daughter. Emma Watson returns from Ireland to rural Surrey, denied the inheritance that she has been brought up to expect and facing a future of the genteel poverty that Jane Austen herself knew well. Austen may have abandoned The Watsons for that very reason; it may have been a little too close to home. Will her Emma do better? We shall never know. In Sanditon Jane Austen struck out in an entirely new direction, taking a wry look at a developing seaside resort on the Sussex coast populated by a colourful cast of hypochondriacs and speculators. Sadly, she died before she could complete it.If you have ever expected Jane Austen's novels to be dif¿cult to read, the Line Clear Edition is the one for you.

The front cover is centred on Eastbourne in Sussex. Austen tells us that Sanditon is 'one complete, measured mile' nearer to London than is Eastbourne. Another of the places mentioned in the story is Willingden; it may be signi¿cant that 'Willingdon Mill' appears on the map only about two miles northwest of Eastbourne.

Emma Woodhouse, at the age of twenty, has little to distress or vex her. Handsome, clever and rich, she believes that she has no need of marriage or love and is therefore free to manipulate the love-lives of those around her. As early as chapter 1 her father begs her, 'Do not make any more matches,' but that does not deter her from picking up little Harriet Smith, 'the natural daughter of somebody', and giving her ideas above her station. It takes an old family friend, Mr George Knightley, to put a stop to all this, and in the way that Emma least expects. In the background a classic detective story is working itself out, enacted by perhaps the most memorable cast of characters that Jane Austen was ever to create.

Ten-year-old Fanny Price is adopted by her wealthy uncle, Sir Thomas Bertram, and is brought up alongside, rather than with, his own four children. She soon learns her place in the hierarchy of Mans¿eld Park, and is ¿rmly kept there by her spiteful and interfering Aunt Norris, who is one of Jane Austen's most memorable creations. While Sir Thomas is away attending to his business interests in Antigua, the arrival of the sophisticated Mary and Henry Crawford becomes the catalyst for change. Soon, amateur theatricals turn into a real-life drama that shakes the family to its foundations. Throughout it all, Fanny's high moral principles remain as ¿rm as a rock. When the dust has settled, those who remain standing realize that Fanny means more to them than they - or she -had ever expected.If you have ever expected Jane Austen's novels to be dif¿cult to read, the Line Clear Edition is the one for you.
