About this product
Product Information
Spence's new biography focuses its attention away from the wider literary and intellectual currents that informed Jane Austen's writing and instead concentrates on the immediate influences on her life and work. The book also forms the basis of a forthcoming film of the same title.

Reviews
'Becoming Jane Austen' is a good, traditional biography. Clearly written, jargon-free and pleasant to read, it covers familiar ground without any sense of fatigue and makes the most of the material.' ~ Peter Washington, The Literary Review, Becoming Jane Austen gives the fullest account we have of her falling in love with the charming young Irishman Tom Lefroy., 'Jon Spence's 'Becoming Jane Austen' is one of the best half-dozen books published on Austen in the last quarter century.' 'This is a book full of wisdom about [Jane Austen] and her art.' Joseph Wiesenfarth, JASNA News, 'It is the small incidents that Jon Spence puts under the microscope in his entertaining and sensitive biography.' 'Jon Spence is painstaking, delicate, full of insight - a somehow fitting, friendly biographer.' ~ Joceline Bury, Jane Austen's Regency World Magazine, 'Jon Spence has given us the most cogent portrait of Jane Austen's literary life to date.' ~ Julia Barrett, author of 'Presumption', 'The Third Sister' and 'Jane Austen's "Charlotte"', British Heritage Magazine, 'Jon Spence's book has all the virtues of a well-researched and original study. Hard to write anything new about Jane Austen these days, but Spence, in his own quiet and unobtrusive way, has done it.' ~ John Bayley, "Fascinating...full of details that add color and texture to what we know of Austen." --The Record-Courier, Spence meticulously unpacks the evidence available to him...and lays the probablilities before us in writing that is charged with its own kind of electricity. His great achievement is that by the end of Becoming Jane Austen it is indeed possible to see how Jane became Jane Austen, the great writer of English literature., &"Fascinating...full of details that add color and texture to what we know of Austen.&" --The Record-Courier, This biography does uncover some interesting facts about the novelist's antecedents and family, showing them to be just as obsessed with fortune and gentility as the Dashwoods and the Bennets.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
