More about the books

Jane Austen's novels delve into the complexities of society, love and marriage, with independent heroines navigating the social constraints of the 18th century. Austen's enduring appeal lies in her exploration of human nature combined with beautifully penned prose.

The Bronte sisters' collective works explore themes of love, independence, obsession, women's rights and alcoholism. The sisters' profound understanding of the human condition continues to both provoke and inspire to this day.

Classic Novels runs an amazing company. I accidentally put in the wrong address and they helped me right away. Another situation happened over the holidays and I reached out and they quickly responded and helped me out. Needless to say, my sister loves this set and I will be making more purchases from this company!

Beautiful books

I bought the Complete Jane Austen collection and the books are gorgeous! Floral designs, illustrations (at least in the beginning of the books), and they look so beautiful on my bookshelf. The font sizes of each book vary depending on the original length of the novel, I think, to keep the spines looking fairly similar in width, but I didn't mind that at all. And I received great customer service from Classic Novels too when I ran into some problems with my order. Highly recommend!
