JANE AUSTEN on the Sales, Money, & Profits of her Novels—Publication History of Jane Austen’s Novels

How does Jane Austen discuss the sales, money, & profits of her novels—Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, & Emma—in her letters? Outline of the publication history of Jane Austen’s novels (first & second editions). Jane Austen’s early family biographies—Henry Austen’s Biographical Notice of the Author (1817) & James Edward Austen-Leigh’s Memoir of Jane Austen (1869)— promote the idea that Jane Austen, like a good, modest, domestic 19th century woman, wrote only to amuse her friends & relations, and not to earn a profit. But is this accurate? In the video, I delve into Jane Austen’s own letters about the publications of her novels to analyse how she herself discusses the sales, money, & profits of her works.
