Bøger i Quill Collective serien

"In this romance anthology, eleven Austenesque authors expose the histories of Austen's anti-heroes. Dangerous to know: Jane Austen's Rakes & Gentlemen Rogues is a titillating collection of Georgian era short stories--a backstory or parallel tale off-stage of canon--whilst remaining steadfast to the characters we recognize in Austen's great works"--Page 4 of cover

"You must allow me to tell you..."For over two hundred years, Jane Austen's Mr. Darcy has captivated readers' imaginations as the ultimate catch. Rich. Powerful. Noble. Handsome. And yet, as Miss Austen's Pride and Prejudice is established through Elizabeth Bennet's fine eyes, how are we to know his mind? How does Darcy progress from "She is tolerable: but not handsome enough to tempt me" to "I thought only of you"?In this romance anthology, fifteen Austenesque authors assemble to sketch Darcy's character through a series of re-imaginings, set in the Regency through contemporary times-from faithful narratives to the fanciful. Herein The Darcy Monologues, the man himself reveals his intimate thoughts, his passionate dreams, and his journey to love-all told with a previously concealed wit and enduring charm."It is your turn to say something now, Mr. Darcy."

"For over two hundred years, the heroine of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, Elizabeth Bennet has enchanted and inspired readers by being that "obstinate, headstrong girl" willing to stand up to the arrogance and snobbery of her so-called betters. Described by Austen as having a "lively, playful disposition," Elizabeth embodies the perfect imperfections of strong-willed women everywhere: she is spirited, witty, clever, and loyal. In this romance anthology, ten Austenesque authors sketch Elizabeth's character through a collection of re-imaginings, set in the Regency through contemporary times."--Publisher's description.
