Description: 10 volumes.

THE IMPORTANT WINCHESTER EDITION, STILL ONE OF THE MOST DESIRABLE OF ALL COLLECTED EDITIONS OF THE AUTHOR'S WRITINGS. “Recognition came to Miss Austen slowly. But she is now firmly established as an English classic. Miss Austen had always her panegyrists among the best intellects-such as Coleridge, Tennyson,Macaulay, Scott, Sydney Smith, Disraeli and Archbishop Whitely, the last of whom may be said to have been her discoverer. Disraeli read PRIDE AND PREJUDICE seventeen times. Scott’s testimony is often quoted: ‘That young lady had a talent for describing the involvements, feelings and characters of ordinary life which is to me the most wonderful I have ever met with. The big bow-wow I can do myself like any one going; but the exquisite touch which renders commonplace things and characters interesting from the truth of the description and the sentiment is denied to me.’” - EB
