About the author

Jane Austen (1775–1817) is considered by many scholars to be the first great woman novelist. Born in Steventon, England, she later moved to Bath and began to write for her own and her family’s amusement. Her novels, set in her own English countryside, depict the daily lives of provincial middle-class families with wry observation, a delicate irony, and a good-humored wit.

Bryan Kozlowski is a passionate champion of “lit wit”—bringing the wisdom of classic literature into everyday life. From Charles Dickens to children’s cookbooks, his books celebrate the modern magic of living literarily. His writing has appeared in the New York Times, the New York Post, Slate, and other publications
