Jane Austen

Jane Austen was an English novelist, born on December 16, 1775 in Steventon, Hampshire, England, and died on July 18, 1817 in Winchester, Hampshire. She resided in the limited realm of lower-ranking landowners and rural clergy, as the daughter of a rector. This environment greatly influenced her literary works. Her sister, Cassandra, was her closest confidante. The early pieces that are known from her primarily consist of parodies, particularly of sentimental literature. Jane Austen authored six complete novels, namely Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), Emma (1815), Persuasion (1817), and Northanger Abbey (published in 1817 but written before to the others). These works depict the social behaviour and customs of the middle-class English society during Austen’s era. Her writing is renowned for its cleverness, authenticity, astute empathy, and exceptional prose. By portraying regular individuals in their daily lives, she was the pioneer in bestowing the novel with its unique modern essence. She released her novels under a pseudonym, with two of them being published posthumously. Her death is believed to have been caused by Addison’s illness.
