The Complete Cambridge Jane Austen

208 years after her untimely death, Jane Austen has greatly out shadowed the general anonymity afforded to her in life. 

Celebrated for her wit, charm and sense of character, Jane Austen gave a voice to those that otherwise would not have been heard, in a time where women's rights and thoughts were trampled. Of even more renown, Austen changed the landscape of British literature forever. Jane Austen's presence in the world of literature is titanous; even within her own lifespan and that of her contemporaries, Austen's work rightly had begun to be placed within the same ranking as Shakespeare and his ilk. 

This complete collection of Jane Austen is an outstanding testament of her life's work. From a purely aesthetics point of view, the books in the collection are wonderfully cloth bound,  in addition to an excellent display jacket. In compliment , the scholarly notes provided through by Janet Todd aids in the reader's immersion into the world of Jane Austen; especially those exploring her childhood writings which seldom are offered notice in the public conscience.

This collection would make an excellent gift for any fan of Jane Austen, or is interested in beginning scholarly work exploring Austen's impact from the 18th century to the present, 250 years after her birth.
