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.

Jane Austen wrote this slim "history" for fun when she was 16 years old, and her sister Cassandra illustrated the text with small portraits. Her subtitle reads: By a Partial, Prejudiced, and Ignorant Historian. (Note: There Will Be Very Few Dates in this History). This facsimile contains a transcription, an introduction by A.S. Byatt, and a note on the text by Deirdre Le Faye who explains how the manuscript came into the hands of the British Library. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

'Pictures of perfection make me sick and wicked,' Jane Austen wrote to her niece Fanny Knight a few months before she died. Yet most traditional accounts of Austen's life have insisted on portraying her as just such a picture of perfection. In his 1997 biography David Nokes re-examined Austen, and presented a far richer and livelier picture of the woman who once wrote in another of her letters, 'If I am a wild beast, I cannot help it...' 'A fine book, probably the best tribute to the genius of Jane.' Glasgow Herald '[This book] cries out to be read, not alone by fans of Jane Austen but by anyone who enjoys a great, witty, gossipy read.' Irish Times 'What fun Nokes's book is,' Fay Weldon, Independent 'David Nokes is assertive, energetic, opinionated, satirical, supremely confident, dramatising and gleefully splenetic.' Hermione Lee

Through three intertwined histories Jane Austen's Textual Lives offers a new way of approaching and reading a very familiar author. One is a history of the transmission and transformation of Jane Austen through manuscripts, critical editions, biographies, and adaptations; a second provides a conspectus of the development of English Studies as a discipline in which the original and primary place of textual criticism is recovered; and a third reviews the role of Oxford University Press in shaping a canon of English texts in the twentieth century. Jane Austen can be discovered in all three. Since her rise to celebrity status at the end of the nineteenth century, Jane Austen has occupied a position within English-speaking culture that is both popular and canonical, accessible and complexly inaccessible, fixed and certain yet wonderfully amenable to shifts of sensibility and cultural assumptions. The implied contradiction was represented in the early twentieth century by, on the one hand, the Austen family's continued management, censorship, and sentimental marketing of the sweet lady novelist of the Hampshire countryside; and on the other, by R. W. Chapman's 1923 Clarendon Press edition of the Novels of Jane Austen, which subjected her texts to the kind of scholarly probing reserved till then for classical Greek and Roman authors obscured by centuries of attrition. It was to be almost fifty years before the Clarendon Press considered it necessary to recalibrate the reputation of another popular English novelist in this way. Beginning with specific encounters with three kinds of textual work and the problems, clues, or challenges to interpretation they continue to present, Kathryn Sutherland goes on to consider the absence of a satisfactory critical theory of biography that can help us address the partial life, and ends with a discussion of the screen adaptations through which the texts continue to live on. Throughout, Jane Austen's textual identities provide a means to explore the wider issue of what text is and to argue the importance of understanding textual space as itself a powerful agent established only by recourse to further interpretations and fictions.

In Geniuses, Addicts, and Scribbling Women, contributors argue for critical attention to the ways in which writers have been portrayed through various genres, modalities, and historical periods, and the significant impact these portrayals have had on the popular imagination.

The author of one of the greatest romance novels of all time, Pride and Prejudice, takes her readers on a satiric tour through England's history Written during Jane Austen's teenage years as part of her Juvenilia of the 1790s, The History of England mercilessly exploits the comedic potential of human foibles within British royalty. Filled with puns and parodies, the history begins with the reign of Henry IV and concludes with the death of Charles I more than two centuries later. Originally intending it for circulation and performance among family and friends, Jane also commissioned her sister Cassandra to provide illustrations to complement her signature wit and humor. This volume includes an informative introduction, background context such as family trees and personal letters, and extensive editorial commentary. Austen fans and history buffs are sure to delight in this work written by "a partial, prejudiced, and ignorant historian."

Novel Histories: British Women Writing History, 1760–1830 argues that British women’s history and historical fiction in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries changed not only the shape but also the political significance of women’s writing. At a time when women’s participation in the republic of letters was both celebrated and reviled, these authors took cues from developments that revolutionized British history writing to push the limits of narrated history to respond to contemporary national politics. Through an examination of the conventions of historical and literary genres; historiography during the period; and the gendering of civic and literary roles, this study shows not only a social, political, and literary lineage among women’s history writing and fiction but also among women’s writing and the writing of history.
