Austen, Jane Jane Austen's Universal Truths Trafalgar Square August, 1997 Hardcover Hardback with D/J in excellent condition.FROM THE PUBLISHERThis text provides a selection of quotations from Austen, which seek to demonstrate Austen's knowledge of the human character which underpins elements of her writing.
