Plantation, Florida. The sun-drenched landscape of Austen Rice’s teenage years seems a world away from the anxieties that plague his seventeen-year-old heart. He faces the daunting prospect of high school, burdened not only by the typical teenage uncertainties but also by the unique challenges posed by his cerebral palsy. More than just physical limitations, his disability weighs heavily on his social life, creating a wall between him and the seemingly effortless social grace of his peers. The absence of his mother casts a long shadow, a wound that refuses to heal. Yet, amidst this emotional turmoil, Austen possesses a fierce spirit, fueled by the unwavering love and support of his father. This is a story of contrasts: the vibrant energy of Florida juxtaposed with the quiet internal struggles of a young man finding his place in the world. This story begins with trepidation, with the weight of expectation and the fear of the unknown. Austen enters Plantation High with a guarded heart, bracing himself for the inevitable awkwardness and social rejection. He anticipates the stares, the whispers, the unintentional slights that come with being “different.” But then, unexpectedly, he meets Keyla. Their connection is not a fairytale; it's a gradual unfolding of acceptance, understanding, and shared laughter. It’s a testament to the transformative power of genuine friendship that transcends superficial judgments and embraces individuality. It's a slow burn romance, tender and deeply personal, built on the foundation of mutual respect and unwavering support. This is not a story about overcoming disability; it is a story about overcoming self-doubt, about finding the courage to love and be loved, and about discovering the strength that lies within, waiting to be unleashed. It is a story about embracing imperfections, finding joy in unexpected places, and allowing yourself to be vulnerable enough to embrace the possibility of a love that is both true and transformative. Above all, it is a story that celebrates the power of connection, the resilience of the human spirit, and the possibility of finding belonging, even in the most unexpected of places.

Searching for Jane Austen demolishes with wit and vivacity the often-held view of "Jane," a decorous maiden aunt writing her small drawing-room stories of teas and balls. Emily Auerbach presents a different Jane Austen--a brilliant writer who, despite the obstacles facing women of her time, worked seriously on improving her craft and became one of the world's greatest novelists, a master of wit, irony, and character development. In this beautifully illustrated and lively work, Auerbach surveys two centuries of editing, censoring, and distorting Austen's life and writings. Auerbach samples Austen's flamboyant, risqué adolescent works featuring heroines who get drunk, lie, steal, raise armies, and throw rivals out of windows. She demonstrates that Austen constantly tested and improved her skills by setting herself a new challenge in each of her six novels. In addition, Auerbach considers Austen's final irreverent writings, discusses her tragic death at the age of forty-one, and ferrets out ridiculous modern adaptations and illustrations, including ads, cartoons, book jackets, newspaper articles, plays, and films from our own time. An appendix reprints a ground-breaking article that introduced Mark Twain's "Jane Austen," an unfinished and unforgettable essay in which Twain and Austen enter into mortal combat.

"Returning author Devoney Looser has written a study of Jane Austen's legacy in high and popular culture, looking at stage and film adaptations of her work, how Austen has been taught in classrooms, Austen's depiction in visual culture, and Austen's role in the women's suffragist movement. Looser draws on popular print and unpublished archival sources, amassing evidence from high, middlebrow, and popular culture, in order to craft a more capacious history of posthumous reception. The book is a detailed and revealing account of what Looser calls the "public dimension" of Jane Austen, who is a "manufactured creation." Looser has dug deep and come up with brand-new material on Austen, something that is very hard to do. This is the kind of material that Janeites and Austen scholars live for"--

Jane Austen significantly shaped the development of the English novel, and her works continue to be read widely today. Though she is best known for her novels, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion, she also wrote poems, letters, prayers and various pieces of juvenalia. These writings have been attracting the attention of scholars; her major works have already generated a large body of scholarly and critical studies. This reference is a guide to her works and the response to them. Austen's works are fraught with ambiguity. Because she was adept at displaying numerous aspects of an issue, her writings invite multiple interpretations. In light of the ambiguity of her texts, each of her major works is approached from a reader-response perspective, in which an expert contributor illuminates the reader's relationship to her writing. And because so many readers have had such varied responses to her novels, the volume also includes chapters summarizing the critical response to each of her major works. In addition, the book includes separate chapters on her poems, letters, and prayers.

Jane Austen has become our patron saint of romance, our goddess of happy endings. Her name is synonymous with romantic sighs, period costumes, and the ideal of what love should be. But if she could give us advice about life and love, what would she tell us? What would she make of Match.com, of our Real Housewives, or of our obsession with finding The One? Austen’s stories give us relationship advice that still works today, but her life offers us so much more wisdom than just that pertaining to love. In our fame-obsessed culture, it’s refreshing to think that Austen preferred to remain anonymous. Ironically, Jane Austen—master of love stories—never married and can teach us something about being single. She also endured many painful circumstances and managed them with grace and humor. In this light biography and guide, author Lori Smith surmises about Austen’s sensible advice for twenty-first-century women—on everything from living our dreams, being a woman of substance, finding a good man, managing money, and much more. As such an astute student of human nature, Austen can teach us an awful lot about ourselves and about what it means to live well.
