Northanger Abbey. Persuasion

This issue of Jane Austen's posthumously published novels Northanger Abbey and Persuasion is one of few surviving copies of the Chapman and Hall yellow-back.

Yellow-backs were published in Britain in the late-nineteenth century and were cheap volumes aimed at a popular audience. This volume was published in London in 1872. Yellow-back editions of Austen played a significant role in bringing her work to a wider audience, making her one of the most popular and widely read authors of the nineteenth century.
