Jane Austen: Her Life and Times
Jane Tapley
 

We follow the career of one of the earliest and greatest female writers of the eighteenth century, if not all time. Jane follows the journey through one of the most important literary periods and charts the rise in popularity of the new-style novel. We'll hear about her quiet, private upbringing and her personal struggle for true independence. We will also learn how her novels gathered momentum and appreciation after her death.
