The Novel Life of Jane Austen is a one-of-a-kind, impeccably researched, ecstatically drawn graphic biography of one of the world's most beloved literary icons. Combining deep scholarship and serious whimsy, The Novel Life of Jane Austen presents this literary icon as the starring character in her own graphic novel. Told in three parts (Budding Writer 1796-1803; Struggling Artist 1806-1809; Published Author 1811-1817), the gritty circumstances of Austen's own genteel poverty and the small daily injustices so often borne by creative women at this time, are told against the backdrop of Georgian England and reflect, down to the smallest detail, many of the plots and characters woven into Austen's greatest works. All the settings and scenarios presented here are based upon the historical record including the clothing, architecture, decor, Regency locations, and Austen's biography. Easter eggs and clever references to popular film adaptations of Austen's novels sprinkled throughout will satisfy both the casual and avid Austen fan alike.
