New York: The Modern Library, 1950.

Modern Library edition of Austen’s two greatest works. Octavo, bound in one half crushed blue morocco over marbled boards by Sangorski and Sutcliffe with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands, top edge gilt. In near fine condition. A very attractive example.

"Generations of readers have marveled at the modernity of [Jane Austen's] work. She is the mother of the English 19th-century novel as Scott is the father of it" (Kunitz & Haycraft, 23).
