Описание: In 2002, two amateur Jane Austen scholars, while staying at a Hertfordshire estate, stumbled upon a hidden cache of manuscript pages and made an extraordinary literary discovery - lost scenes from Jane Austen's novels that reveal an altogether different dimension to her oeuvre. Hidden by Jane Austen's younger sister Cassie in 1818, these missing pages throw an entirely new light on all of Austen's work making explicit the latent and repressed sexuality that underlies much of her fiction. The discovery also forces new assessments of Austen herself. For along with these pages they found letters to her editor, Thomas Egerton, and her sister arguing and anguishing over the extensive cuts that she was asked to make in order for her novels to be seen as acceptable and decent to her publisher. Published for the first time these missing pages are sure to astonish and delight every avowed Austen devotee and all those devotees to come. "Pride and Promiscuity" is a landmark publication of indescribable importance.
