I, Jane Austen
By Mary Corringham

In I, Jane Austen, Mary Corringham creates a compelling portrayal of the beloved author, drawing from Austen's six major novels, published letters, minor works, and insights from family and friends. This poem captures the essence of Austen's life and literary world, showcasing her reflections on family, friendships, and everyday life, including her attire and culinary interests.

As noted on the back cover:

"The author has succeeded brilliantly in capturing Jane Austen’s own felicitous phrasing and the rhythm of her prose, and the substance of many lines and stanzas is direct or virtually direct quotation from Jane Austen’s own writing."

Corringham's work invites readers to experience the charm and wit of Austen through an innovative lens, enriching our understanding of the woman behind the novels.
