Steppenwolf Press presents
The Jane Austen Collection, an exquisite anthology that gathers six of Jane Austen’s timeless masterpieces. These stories, filled with wit, romance, and sharp social observation, offer readers a window into the complexities of human relationships and the nuances of Regency-era life.
Sense and Sensibility introduces the Dashwood sisters, whose contrasting temperaments—reserved Elinor and passionate Marianne—guide them through love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. Austen’s exploration of reason and emotion creates a poignant and enduring tale.
In
Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy engage in one of literature’s most iconic love stories. With its razor-sharp humor and unforgettable characters, this novel is a brilliant study of first impressions, societal expectations, and personal growth.
Mansfield Park tells the story of Fanny Price, a quiet yet resolute heroine who navigates the tensions and intrigues of her wealthy relatives at Mansfield Park. Through Fanny’s journey, Austen examines themes of morality, family, and self-worth.
Emma follows the charming and self-assured Emma Woodhouse as she meddles in the lives of those around her, with consequences she could never have predicted. A comedy of manners and self-realization, this novel showcases Austen’s unparalleled wit and insight.
Northanger Abbey is a delightful satire of Gothic novels, following the imaginative Catherine Morland as she learns to distinguish between fantasy and reality. Through Catherine’s misadventures, Austen delivers both humor and a heartfelt coming-of-age tale.
Finally,
Lady Susan offers a darker and more daring perspective, with its captivating portrait of the manipulative and charming Lady Susan Vernon. Told through an epistolary format, this novella is a brilliant and biting commentary on power and societal expectations.
The Jane Austen Collection invites readers to immerse themselves in the elegance, intelligence, and enduring charm of Austen’s works. Whether revisiting these beloved classics or experiencing them for the first time, this anthology is a celebration of one of literature’s most cherished voices.
