The History of England af Jane Austen
Bag om The History of England

First published in 1791, The History of England is a refreshingly witty, classic account of England's royal reigns from Henry IV through to Charles I. Written by Jane Austen aged 15, this is a topic she studied when she was a child. In this mischievous satire on school history books, Austen's delightful juvinilia highlights her dry wit and advanced talent for writing. The History of England gives a humorous account of the country's well-known kings and queens, and is complete with Austen's original spelling quirks. Describing herself as a 'partial, prejudiced and ignorant historian', Austen uses a light-hearted tone to parody the dry history books popularly seen in schools. This lively book mocks historians with outrageous characters and deliciously naughty intelligence. This satirical volume's contents includes: - Henry the 4th - Henry the 5th - Henry the 6th - Edward the 4th - Edward the 5th - Richard the 3rd - Henry the 7th - Henry the 8th - Edward the 6th - Mary - Elizabeth - James the 1st - Charles the 1st Proudly republished by Read & Co. Books, this classic treasure is a must-read for collectors of Austen's work and fans of English history.

Bag om Jane Austen

Vis alle bøger af Jane Austen

Den engelske romanforfatter, Jane Austen, var født ved Bastingstoke i England og voksede op i landlige middelstands-miljø. Som barn fik hun kendskab til masser af varieret litteratur, ved hjælp af familiens bibliotek. Gennem årene, har Austens romaner, fastholdt deres popularitet. Hendes romaner er nogle af de mest populære klassikere i dag, og har oveni det også gentagne filmatiseringer. Austen er kendt for at portrættere sine fiktive personer gennem dialog, og udviklingen, som personerne går igennem, bliver uundværlig fordelt med en tilføjelse af ironi, satire og humor. Man kan heller ikke undgå hendes elegant sprog, som taler stadig til os efter 200 år. Jane Austen har seks hovedværker, og tre af hendes mest populære bøger består af, “Fornuft og følelse” (Sense and sensibility 1811), “Stolthed og fordom” (Pride and prejudice 1813) og “Emma” 1816. Dernæst kommer hendes breve og andre ufærdige romaner. Disse værker handler stort set om kærlighedens veje..
