Featuring a host of quotations displaying Austen’s sharp – and often wicked – social observation and satirical wit, this funny and wise book will strike a chord with fans of the author as well as readers new to her writing.

In Celebration of Jane Austen, on the 250th anniversary of her birth. Lauded for her eloquence, observation and wry humour, Jane Austen was a novelist who was highly regarded and greatly celebrated in her own time. However, her appeal is as great as ever, and her insights remain as fresh and relevant today as when they were first published.

Beautifully packaged and published to tie in with the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen‘s birth, this delightful and absorbing collection of thematic extracts from her beloved novels, such as Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Persuasion, as well as her letters, compiles the author’s sharpest, most profound and most amusing observations on human nature, money, marriage, life and society, and more. The Wicked Wit of Jane Austen is a charming tribute to a writer whose work will resonate for centuries to come.

Dominique Enright is a freelance writer and editor. She has a degree in English Language and Literature from Oxford University. Her previous work for Michael O'Mara Books includes The Wicked Wit of William Shakespeare and she is also the compiler and editor of selections from the verse of Burns, Keats, Kipling and Wordsworth. She lives in London with her husband; they have three grown-up children.
