Jane Austen: Her Life and Letters is a classic Jane Austen biography by William Austen-Leigh and Richard Arthur Austen-Leigh. Since 1870-1, when J. E. Austen Leigh published his Memoir of Jane Austen, considerable additions have been made to the stock of information available for her biographers. Of these fresh sources of knowledge the set of letters from Jane to Cassandra, edited by Lord Brabourne, has been by far the most important.
