Jane Austen Collection

Jane Austen’s Leading Ladies Collection This collection studies the nature of three of the most beloved characters from Jane Austen’s novels. After identifying the traits that best characterize each one of them, the challenge is to re ect them into something so pure and simple as owers. The combination of typography, ower species and the arrangement itself should translates each one of the heroines personalities. These owers represent socially regimented ideas of appropriate behavior factored in Austen’s work. Every cover presents the publication date of the correspondent novel as well as its rst sentence, the heroines name and book title. Emma Woodhouse, is a precocious and rich twenty-year-old resident of the village of Highbury, and imagines herself to be naturally gifted in conjuring love matches. Elizabeth is Austen’s most beloved heroine, frank and fearless in her opinions. Elinor is one of Austen’s most misunderstood heroines. Seen through the lens of modern sensibilities she is perceived as repressed and a control freak.
