First sentence: The publication in 1870 of James Edward Austen-Leigh's biographical Memoir of his aunt Jane Austen has long been recognized as altering her fortunes for ever-from a relatively select coterie writer, a critic's and a novelist's novelist, to a widely esteemed cultural asset, everybody's quintessential English novelist.
