Jane Austen [Libby] : A Life Revealed. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2011. Format: OverDrive Adobe EPUB eBook, Filesize: 77MB. Format: OverDrive Kindle Book. Format: OverDrive OverDrive Read. Biography & Autobiography. Young Adult Nonfiction. HTML:<b>"An excellent 'starter biography,' clearly written, peppered with period images, movie stills and great tidbits of historical facts . . . engaging."—Austenprose</b><br /> Jane Austen's popularity never seems to fade. She has hordes of devoted fans, and there have been numerous adaptations of her life and work. But who was Jane Austen? The writer herself has long remained a mystery. And despite the resonance her work continues to have for teens, there has never been a young adult trade biography on Austen.&#160;<br /> Catherine Reef changes that with this highly readable account. She takes an intimate peek at Austen's life and innermost feelings, interweaving her narrative with well-crafted digests of each of Austen's published novels. The end result is a book that is almost as much fun to read as Jane's own work—and truly a life revealed.&#160;<i>Includes bibliography and index.</i><br /> "Along with extensive details of Austen's family . . . Reef deftly sets the biographical facts onto a larger cultural and historical canvas that will give readers a much deeper understanding of Austen's novels, and well-chosen images, from period paintings and photos to contemporary film stills, add even more context."—<i>Booklist</i> (starred review)<br /> "Perhaps this work will lead readers to Jane Austen and imaginatively apply the facts of the author's life to the novels—or vice-versa."—<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>.
