Jane Austen: The Six Novels
Wit, marriage plots and the best sentences in English.
Austen published only six novels, and every one is here. Start with Pride and Prejudice for the comedy, move to Emma for the craft, and end with Persuasion, her last and most quietly devastating book. Northanger Abbey, a parody of the Gothic novels in our horror list, is the lightest way in.
