"Memoir of Jane Austen" from James Edward Austen-Leigh. He was the favorite nephew of his aunt (1798-1874).

Femtiotre år efter Jane Austens död tillfrågades hennes brorson James Edward Austen-Leigh om han ville skriva en biografi över sin faster. Han samtyckte, och boken kom ut 1870. Den väckte så stort intresse att en ny utgåva trycktes redan följande år. Sedan dess har ett mycket stort antal biografier över Jane Austen skrivits, men James Edward Austen-Leighs hågkomster har intagit en särställning bland dem, främst för att han kände henne väl och hyste stor tillgivenhet för henne, men även för hans personliga och humoristiska berättarstil. Nu föreligger hans bok för första gången på svenska.
