'no person could be really well . . . without spending at least six weeks by the sea every year' In Sanditon, Jane Austen writes what may well be the first seaside novel: a novel, that is, that explores the mysterious and startling transformations that a stay by the sea can work on individuals and relationships. Sanditon is a fictitious place on England's south coast and the obsession of local landowner Mr Thomas Parker. He means to transform this humble fishing village into a fashionable health resort to rival its famous neighbours of Brighton and Eastbourne. In this, her final, unfinished work, the writer sets aside her familiar subject matter, the country village with its settled community, for the transient and eccentric assortment of people who drift to the new resort, the town built upon sand. If the ground beneath her characters' feet appears less secure, Austen's own vision is opening out. Light and funny, Sanditon is her most experimental and poignant work.

Seller's Description:
Near Fine in near fine jacket. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. 329 pp. Generally fine but with some light foxing to the half title page and lighter still on the title page and some foxing outer edge of text block. In crisp dust jacket with a mere trace of wear at the lower tips. In January of 1817, Jane Austen began to write a novel which she did not live to finish; her intended title was to be "The Brothers" but the fragment became known in the family as "Sanditon". For more than a century, it existed only in manuscript form, available to scholars but unknown to the public. A transcription of the manuscript was first published in 1925; it consisted of the eleven chapters Austen had written. This first "completed" edition, with the tale finished by Marie Dobbs, was published in 1975. It is the basis for the ITV/PBS TV series of the same name that has been produced beginning in 2019.
