E-text prepared by Thierry Alberto, Emmy, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Jane Austen, Her Life and Letters: A Family Record" by Austen-Leigh and Austen-Leigh is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. This work aims to provide a comprehensive view of the life of the renowned novelist Jane Austen, drawing on family correspondence and other historical sources. The book not only chronicles Austen's personal experiences but also delves into her family background and the influences that shaped her remarkable literary career. The opening of the narrative is prefaced with notes on how new materials and perspectives on Jane Austen's life have emerged since earlier accounts, particularly highlighting the importance of her letters to her sister Cassandra. The authors aim to present a more complete and chronological telling of Austen's life, acknowledging the emotional depth often overlooked in previous biographies, particularly concerning her experiences of family, social interactions, and the subtle influences of her upbringing. As they introduce the Austen family and their history, they set the stage for exploring Jane's formative years, the relationships that influenced her writing, and her educational experiences—all precursors to the literary genius that would emerge in her later works.
