Reviews
Becoming Jane Austen gives the fullest account we have of her falling in love with the charming young Irishman Tom Lefroy., 'Becoming Jane Austen' is a good, traditional biography. Clearly written, jargon-free and pleasant to read, it covers familiar ground without any sense of fatigue and makes the most of the material.' ~ Peter Washington, The Literary Review, 'It is the small incidents that Jon Spence puts under the microscope in his entertaining and sensitive biography.' 'Jon Spence is painstaking, delicate, full of insight - a somehow fitting, friendly biographer.' ~ Joceline Bury, Jane Austen's Regency World Magazine, 'Jon Spence's 'Becoming Jane Austen' is one of the best half-dozen books published on Austen in the last quarter century.'

Synopsis
Spence's new biography focuses its attention away from the wider literary and intellectual currents that informed Jane Austen's writing and instead concentrates on the immediate influences on her life and work. The book also forms the basis of a forthcoming film of the same title., Jon Spence's brilliant biography of Jane Austen is an intimate portrait of the much loved novelist. Spence paints a vivid picture of Jane's world; her situation and circumstances, their benefits and drawbacks, and the people who influenced her - family and friends, rejected suitors, tiresome acquaintances and unruly nephews. Becoming Jane shows how Jane Austen's own personal experiences resonated throughout her work and how one person, above all, affected her life and caught her imagination; the young Irish lawyer Tom Lefroy. It is a world familiar to us from Jane Austen's novels - but in Becoming Jane , Austen herself is the heroine., Jon Spence's fascinating biography of Jane Austen paints an intimate portrait of the much-loved novelist. Spence's meticulous research has, perhaps most notably, uncovered evidence that Austen and the charming young Irishman Tom Lefroy fell in love at the age of twenty and that the relationship inspired Pride and Prejudice, one of the most celebrated works of fiction ever written. Becoming Jane Austen gives the fullest account we have of the romance, which was more serious and more enduring than previously believed. Seeing this love story in the context of Jane Austen's whole life enables us to appreciate the profound effect the relationship had on her art and on subsequent choices that she made in her life. Full of insight and with an attentive eye for detail, Spence explores Jane Austen's emotional attachments and the personal influences that shaped her as a novelist. His elegant narrative provides a point of entry into Jane Austen's world as she herself perceived and experienced it. It is a world familiar to us from her novels, but in Becoming Jane Austen, Austen herself is the heroine.
