Short Bio
Jane Austen, born December 16, 1775, in Steventon, Hampshire, England, and passing on July 18, 1817, in Winchester, Hampshire, was an English novelist known for her six major novels, including "Pride and Prejudice," "Sense and Sensibility," and "Emma."
Her works critique the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century, focusing on themes of marriage, morality, and social mobility. Austen's novels are celebrated for their wit, irony, and insight into the lives of women in a constrained society.
Despite publishing anonymously during her lifetime, Austen's sharp observations and character-driven narratives have made her one of the most widely read and beloved authors in English literature, with her work still highly relevant and admired today.
