He could not have imaged Austen's immense importance as a writer, and the curiosity about her, in today's world. That is part of the charm of James Austen-Leigh's memoir, which remains the touchstone for all later biographers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe highlights Jane's special relationship with sister Cassandra, through her letters. He shows that her writing fell into two distinct periods of creativity with a barren patch in between. An amusing passage reveals the admiration of the Prince Regent for her work, and the irony of her response. This is a touching personal account from one who actually knew this great writer of our time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt includes the fascinating cancelled chapter of Persuasion, and is accompanied by the full text of The Watsons, Lady Susan and Sanditon.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_Books\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_Books\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"1840229853\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"hcjouw-rq9any-76fqte-sizcxr\" data-cel-widget=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"tellAmazon\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"tellAmazon\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"1840229853\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"hkmy8k-k3o5lc-9plu13-vpgv4k\" data-cel-widget=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget c-f\" data-csa-op-log-render=\"\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"DsUnknown\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"DsUnknown-2\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-painter=\"tell-amazon-desktop-cards\" data-csa-c-id=\"tpncvf-k1k630-bb1km3-5w96vo\" data-cel-widget=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"CardInstanceTUQ4_u81y5qYkJjiDfpzRg\" data-card-metrics-id=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_1\" data-acp-tracking=\"{}\" data-mix-claimed=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_Books\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_Books\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"1853264865\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-cel-widget=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" data-csa-c-id=\"372igm-l6sstu-iryafb-55apee\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"tellAmazon\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"tellAmazon\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"1853264865\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-cel-widget=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" data-csa-c-id=\"4ekv77-cj4frz-sen4lc-q1rs9p\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget c-f\" data-csa-op-log-render=\"\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"DsUnknown\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"DsUnknown-7\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-painter=\"tell-amazon-desktop-cards\" data-cel-widget=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_6\" data-csa-c-id=\"isl2h7-nxfwe4-80yb85-p5s9eh\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"CardInstance3_N6jWIb7t8_lk0iLhCapQ\" data-card-metrics-id=\"tell-amazon-desktop_DetailPage_6\" data-acp-tracking=\"{}\" data-mix-claimed=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget c-f\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"CardInstancefi8HJ4rTj7spiqWfe45XXQ\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget c-f\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"CardInstanceNRFxXgHLx7jQfik_cbNQfA\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tellAmazon_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget c-f\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"CardInstance9reG3NkE5bHKkLrEbiIKJw\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget\" id=\"globalStoreInfoBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"celwidget\" id=\"buyingOptionNostosBadge_feature_div\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Secret Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59723391140185,"sku":"1850","price":6.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/8921\/4278\/files\/AMemoirofJaneAusten_JamesAusten-Leigh_c3830b52-8ae6-4a20-8923-6c7adb202421.jpg?v=1791211715","url":"https:\/\/www.thesecretbookstore.ie\/products\/a-memoir-of-jane-austen-james-austen-leigh","provider":"The Secret Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
