Montblanc Writers Edition Jane Austen Fountain Pen
The Montblanc Writers Edition Homage to Jane Austen pays tribute to one of Britain’s most celebrated novelists. Born in Hampshire in 1775, Jane Austen published Sense and Sensibility at the age of 35 and was only identified as the novel’s author posthumously. Known for her social observation and wit, Austen’s works place her alongside Shakespeare in the history of English literature’s greats. Over 200 years after her death, her six novels—including Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Emma—are beloved worldwide. The writing instrument itself resembles a wax seal stamp, similar to the one Jane Austen would have used. The handcrafted, rhodium-coated solid 18K gold nib is engraved with the only known silhouette of Austen. The barrel echoes the shape of a classical column and features Austen’s signature. The pattern on the cap mirrors the dark blue double-collared coats of Regency gentlemen. The cap ring features a floral design and the inscription “XLIII,” referencing Chapter 43 of the same work, where Elizabeth first sees Pemberley Woods. The floral design from the cap ring can also be found surrounding the Montblanc emblem on the cap top, alongside the inscription “By a Lady,” the pseudonym under which Austen signed her first published novel. Writers Edition Jane Austen Limited includes a fountain pen, capped rollerball and twist ball pen.
