Publisher Penguin Random House is attempting to engage younger readers with classic literature by releasing new editions of Jane Austen novels under their youth imprint, Puffin. These editions will feature colorful, cartoonish covers and marketing that resonates with contemporary romance trends popular on social media platforms like TikTok. The efforts are part of a broader strategy to reclaim the attention of a generation increasingly drawn to modern romance authors, with each classic novel introduced by contemporary YA romance writers. This endeavours to bridge the gap between classic narratives and current youth culture.
Publisher Penguin Random House has launched a new series of Jane Austen novels with cartoonish covers aimed at engaging young romance readers through appealing aesthetics.
The new Puffin editions are marketed as being filled with meet-cutes and young love drama, attempting to attract a generation more familiar with TikTok trends than classic literature.
