At just pennies a copy, these reprints were some of the earliest mass-market paperbacks, with Austens beloved stories squeezed into tight columns on thin, cheap paper. Few of these hard-lived bargain books survive, yet they made a substantial difference to Austens early readership. These were the books bought and read by ordinary people.Packed with nearly 100 full-color photographs of dazzling, sometimes gaudy, sometimes tasteless covers, The Lost Books of Jane Austen is a unique history of these rare and forgotten Austen volumes. Such shoddy editions, Janine Barchas argues, were instrumental in bringing Austens work and reputation before the general public. Only by examining them can we grasp the chaotic range of Austens popular reach among working-class readers.Informed by the authors years of unconventional book hunting, The Lost Books of Jane Austen will surprise even the most ardent Janeite with glimpses of scruffy survivors that challenge the prevailing story of the authors steady and genteel rise. Thoroughly innovative and occasionally irreverent, this book will appeal in equal measure to book historians, Austen fans, and scholars of literary celebrity....1714400The Lost Books of Jane Austen555677https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-lost-books-of-jane-austen-1/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/509141/4bb652c1-5286-4680-bda5-84fc0edd62cf.jpg?v=638335098795800000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20199781421431604_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9781421431604_Hardcore bibliography meets Antiques Roadshow in an illustrated exploration of the role that cheap reprints played in Jane Austens literary celebrityand in changing the larger book world itself.Gold Winner of the 2019 Foreword INDIES Award for History by FOREWORD ReviewsIn the nineteenth century, inexpensive editions of Jane Austens novels targeted to Britains working classes were sold at railway stations, traded for soap wrappers, and awarded as school prizes.
