Handlingen foregår på den engelske landsbygda på 1800-tallet. Elizabeth er en av fem søstre. De daglige gjøremål består av sang, piano og daglige visitter, og søstrenes mor er svært opptatt av å få døtrene godt gift. Når Mr Bingley flytter til Netherfield, og Elizabeth møter hans venn Mr Darcy, bestemmer hun seg for å mislike ham, til tross for at han er både flott og attraktiv. Denne feilvurderingen kan i sin tåpelighet bare måle seg med Darcys egen arrogante stolthet. De første inntrykkene må imidlertid etter hvert vike plassen for ekte følelser.

"Jane Eyre" - romanen om den store kjærligheten - er kanskje den mest leste engelskspråklige romanen gjennom tidene. Da den utkom i 1847, ble den straks omfavnet av leserne, og har alltid siden beholdt sin popularitet. "Jane Eyre" er en utviklingsroman og en kjærlighetsroman. Foreldreløse Jane vokser opp hos en følelseskald tante. Hun blir plassert på fattigskolen Lowood, der en nådeløs religiøs disiplin råder. Men Jane lar seg ikke knekke, og da hun får stillingen som guvernante på herregården Thornfield Hall, ser det ut til at lykken smiler til henne. I Mr. Rochester, herregårdens eier, møter hun den store kjærligheten. Det skal likevel vise seg at Thornfield Hall rommer mørke hemmeligheter.

"He began to feel the danger of paying Elizabeth too much attention."Pride and Prejudice , one of the most famous love stories of all time, has also proven itself as a treasured mainstay of the English literary canon. With the arrival of eligible young men in their neighbourhood, the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet and their five daughters are turned inside out and upside down. Pride encounters prejudice, upward-mobility confronts social disdain, and quick-wittedness challenges sagacity. Misconceptions and hasty judgements bring heartache and scandal, buteventually lead to true understanding, self-knowledge, and love.It's almost impossible to open Pride and Prejudice without feeling the pressure of so many readers having known and loved this novel already. Will you fail the test - or will you love it too? As a story that celebrates more unflinchingly than any of Austen's other novels the happy meeting-of-true-minds, and one that has attracted the most fans over the centuries, Pride and Prejudice sets up an echo chamber of good feelings in which romantic love and the love of reading amplify eachother.

Including an introduction from writer and feminist activist Scarlett Curtis, curator of Sunday Times Bestseller Feminists Don't Wear Pink.The only thing in the world that matters to Mrs Bennett, is marrying all five of her daughters to rich, landed gentlemen. So when two wealthy young gentlemen move to town, she vows that at least one of her daughters will marry into their fortunes.Jane and Elizabeth, her eldest daughters, soon discover that love is rarely straightforward and is often surprising. Because, surely that sullen, quiet, mysterious Mr Darcy can't be more than he seems . . . can he?

Adultery is not a typical Jane Austen theme, but when it disturbs the relatively peaceful household at Mansfield Park, it has quite unexpected results. The heroine, Fanny Price, has to struggle to cope with the results, re-examining her feelings while enduring the amorality, old-fashioned indifference and priggish disapproval of those around her.

Sanditon og Lady Susan er begge uavsluttede verk av Jane Austen, et av de største navnene i britisk litteratur. Sanditon, som Austen arbeidet på ved sin død i 1817, er den velopplagte begynnelsen på en fortelling om turismens fremvekst i en badeby på kysten av sør-England, og om spekulasjon og menneskelig dårskap, sett i lys av Austens rammende ironi. Lady Susan, skrevet flere år tidligere, er en brevroman om en av Austens skarpest tegnede skikkelser, en kvinne som relativt hensynsløst frir rommet sitt i en ellers mannsdominert verden. Begge romanene foreligger her for første gang på norsk, med etterord og noter, og rikt illustrert med originale, tidstypiske silhuetter.
