With scenes from English life and her diversity of light-hearted, witty, wise, or patient heroines, Jane Austen has delighted generations of readers while exploring the social and moral values of the early nineteenth century with elegantly barbed perception. This edition includes all six of Austen's completed novels-- Sense and Sensibility , Pride and Predjudice , Mansfield Park , Emma , Northanger Abbey , and Persuasion . Also included are Catherine , a key work of her youth; Lady Susan , which was unpublished in her lifetime; and the unfinished novels The Watsons and Sanditon . All demonstrate the irony, wit, and skill in characterization, as well as faultless control of tone and narrative, which mark them as timeless classics of provincial romance and intrigue.
