Jane Austen's Literary Manuscripts remains the definitive account of the novelist's surviving papers. These date from 1787 to 1817, from the first beginning to the veyr end of her writing career. Their evidence considerably deepens our understanding of the imaginative process that stands behind the composition of the great novels. In Sanditon, the last work, we see the promise of a further and startling development in her art. The influence of her childhood reading and home life is considered in the first chapter, and a further new chapter examines Sir Charles Grandison, a work newly attributed to Jane Austen by Brian Southam in 1977. In an appendix, Southam discusses Mrs Leavis's theory concerning the relationship between Jane Austen's life and art, and between the juvenilia and the later novels.

<p>Jane Austen and the Navy reveals Austen, both of whose brothers became admirals, as an historian of Nelson's navy. However, this is not the navy of Nelson's victorious battles but the navy at home in Britain. Based upon biographies, family records and naval documents, it carefully presents the author's illustration of seamen among their family and friends. Observed with Austen's shrewd eye for detail, it provides a unique insight into the Royal Navy against the background of the Napoleonic wars. <br><br>With wonderful new color illustrations, this book has been fully revised by the author and NMMP is proud to publish in paperback for the first time.</p>
