Description for Pride And Promiscuity: The Lost Sex Scenes of Jane Austen
Paperback. A brilliantly executed parody of Jane Austen's 'forgotten' sex scenes Num Pages: 160 pages. BIC Classification: FP. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 177 x 112 x 11. Weight in Grams: 90.
In 2002, an amateur Jane Austen scholar, while staying at a Hertfordshire estate, stumbled upon a hidden cache of manuscript pages and made an extraordinary literary discovery - lost scenes from Jane Austen's novels that reveal an altogether different dimension to her oeuvre.
Pride and Prejudice's Bingley sisters appear as Sapphic seductresses; Mansfield Park's incest subtext becomes manifest; and Darcy gets more than his shirt wet.
This incisive parody of academic study is sure to astonish and delight mischievous Austenites.
