Today we celebrate EMMA, published 205 years ago in 1815 (though title page says 1816). Austen was at the height of her artistic powers when she gave us Emma Woodhouse and the citizens of Highbury--some of her most entertaining characters. Lucky us!

NORTHANGER ABBEY and PERSUASION were published together in a 4-vol. set on Dec. 20, 1817, 5 months after Austen's death. Henry’s "Biographical Notice of the Author" (shown here), revealed her identity in print for the first time. Will you be reading fav passages to celebrate?
