New York: Lipper / Viking / Penguin Group, 2001. 6th Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/Near Fine. Sixth printing. Small surface tear on front board. 2001 Hard Cover. 185 pp. A fictionalized biography of the beloved author of Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Emma, etc., by the popular Canadian author who won the Pulitzer Prize for her novel The Stone Diaries. In her brilliant fictional biography, The Stone Diaries, Carol Shields created an astonishing portrait of Daisy Goodwill Flett, a modern woman struggling to understand her place in her own life. With the same sensitivity and artfulness that are the trademarks of her award-winning novels, Shields explores the life of a writer whose own novels have engaged and delighted readers for the past two hundred years. Jane Austen reveals both the very private woman and the acclaimed author behind the enduring classics Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Emma. With her forceful insight and gentle wit, she was the ultimate chronicler of the mores and manners of her time as well as a groundbreaking author who would influence many of our greatest contemporary novelists. Who was this woman that created both characters that leap off the page and entertaining plots, yet managed to quietly challenge a strict social order? What gave her the motivation to continue writing when women were excluded from the publishing world? In this compelling and passionate biography, Carol Shields explores the life of this amazing woman: from her early family life in Stevenson, to her later years at Bath, her broken engagement, and her tumultuous relationship with her sister Cassandra., Lipper / Viking / Penguin Group, 2001, 3.5<
