    <![CDATA[Sure, we've read the novels, but what do we really know about Jane Austen herself...Who was the Irishman who stole her heart? Why was their affair doomed? Which Austen heroine most resembled Jane herself? Who were the real Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy? In &quot;101 Things You Didn't Know about Jane Austen&quot;, readers learn the answers to these fascinating questions and much, much more. As evidenced by the ongoing spate of Austen-inspired films and novels - from the most recent remake of &quot;Pride and Prejudice&quot; starring Keira Knightly to the bestselling novel &quot;The Jane Austen Club&quot; - fans of this celebrated novelist can never get enough Jane Austen. Written in an engaging, easy-to-read format, this lively guide to all things Austen is sure to please romantics everywhere - and just in time for &quot;Becoming Jane&quot;, the new film about Jane's own star-crossed love life!]]>

    <![CDATA[You've read Emma. You love Sense and Sensibility. You can quote whole passages from Pride and Prejudice by heart. But is there more to Jane Austen than her books? Although she's one of the most influential and beloved novelists of all time, relatively little is known about Austen's life, even by her most ardent fans.<br/><br/>According to Austen expert Patrice Hannon, the image most often presented of the author was that of a &quot;genteel old maid,&quot; quietly scribbling away and well protected from the chaos of life. But as you'll discover inside, the truth was something quite different. Austen's life was hardly uneventful, shadowed as it was by bankruptcy, multiple tragic deaths, and numerous heartbreaks.<br/><br/>In this illuminating guide to Austen's life and work, Hannon illustrates how these experiences enriched her novels, providing the empathy and depth that helped create unforgettably romantic characters like Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy. You'll never read Jane Austen the same way again.]]>

    <![CDATA[You've read Emma. You love Sense and Sensibility. You can quote whole passages from Pride and Prejudice by heart. But is there more to Jane Austen than her books? Although she's one of the most influential and beloved novelists of all time, relatively little is known about Austen's life, even by her most ardent fans.<br/><br/>According to Austen expert Patrice Hannon, the image most often presented of the author was that of a &quot;genteel old maid,&quot; quietly scribbling away and well protected from the chaos of life. But as you'll discover inside, the truth was something quite different. Austen's life was hardly uneventful, shadowed as it was by bankruptcy, multiple tragic deaths, and numerous heartbreaks.<br/><br/>In this illuminating guide to Austen's life and work, Hannon illustrates how these experiences enriched her novels, providing the empathy and depth that helped create unforgettably romantic characters like Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy. You'll never read Jane Austen the same way again.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I wasn't particularly thrilled by this one. I guess I was expecting the type of book that, when it claims to have 'x' number of facts about something, is laid out with one factoid per page and then moves on. This wasn't the case here.

    <![CDATA[Sure, we've read the novels, but what do we really know about Jane Austen herself...Who was the Irishman who stole her heart? Why was their affair doomed? Which Austen heroine most resembled Jane herself? Who were the real Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy? In &quot;101 Things You Didn't Know about Jane Austen&quot;, readers learn the answers to these fascinating questions and much, much more. As evidenced by the ongoing spate of Austen-inspired films and novels - from the most recent remake of &quot;Pride and Prejudice&quot; starring Keira Knightly to the bestselling novel &quot;The Jane Austen Club&quot; - fans of this celebrated novelist can never get enough Jane Austen. Written in an engaging, easy-to-read format, this lively guide to all things Austen is sure to please romantics everywhere - and just in time for &quot;Becoming Jane&quot;, the new film about Jane's own star-crossed love life!]]>
