1879 Jane Austen EMMA English Novel Romanticism Feminis

1879 Jane Austen EMMA English Novel Romanticism Feminism RARE Bentley edition

“Silly things do cease to be silly if they are done by sensible people in an impudent way.”

― Jane Austen, Emma

Jane Austen was one of the most popular English novelists of the early 19th-century, much in part to her works focusing on the women and social standing. She is best-remembered for ‘Sense and Sensibility’ and ‘Pride and Prejudice’ but works such as ‘Emma’ are equally as desirable to 21st-century readers.

Richard Bentley bought the rights to Austen's novels in 1830. Editions of Jane Austen published in the 1870s are quite rare. In addition to the rarity, Bentley editions are desirable and valuable editions – this 1879 printing of ‘Emma’ is no exception.
