The Pen The cap and barrel are crafted from precious resin with gold-plated and platinum-plated fittings, the overall silhouette resembling a wax seal stamp of the kind Austen herself would have used. Its most distinctive feature is the unusual clip, shaped like a braided cord with a drawstring closure in the manner of a reticule — the small drawstring bag women carried around 1800 — while the cap top bears the phrase "By a Lady," the anonymous authorship credit from the title page of Sense and Sensibility.
The Story Few authors have crafted dialogue and brought characters to life as elegantly and astutely as Jane Austen, whose Hampshire upbringing gave her the social world of ballrooms, marriage schemes and convention that animates Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Emma. Montblanc created this Writers Edition to celebrate one of English literature's most famous authors and her enduring fascination for readers today.
Why This Pen For the collector and the literary devotee alike, this is a thoughtfully detailed tribute whose every element echoes Austen's life and era, made all the more desirable by its strict worldwide limitation.
