Jane Austen - a life of pride and prejudice

Available for over a year

A look at the life of Jane Austen through two new biographies. Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice introduces with irony the search for husbands by five young sisters, but was she as prim as her books would suggest? We also hear about another author from that time whose life could not have been more different to Austen's, that of Victor Hugo; and Greek village life depicted by one author.
