Award-winning biographer Claire Harman shares her insights into the life and reputation of one of British literature's most famous figures: Jane Austen.
When Jane Austen died in 1817, she was an obscure unmarried daughter of the manse with limited means who had published four novels anonymously and had two more on the shelf. But by the mid-twentieth century, people on both sides of the Atlantic were vying over a lock of her hair, and by 1995 an early copy of Pride and Prejudice sold for £16,000 and Austen's shade shared an Oscar (if not, alas, the profits) with Emma Thompson. Claire Harman has written a number of fine biographies on now obscurish writers -- Sylvia Townsend Warner, Fanny Burney -- but now, in Jane's Fame, she takes on a biggie. What is it about Jane Austen that has slowly but apparently inexorably led her to conquer the globe?
