About Jane Austen
Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English novelist known for her sharp social commentary, wit, and realistic portrayals of the landed gentry in Regency England. Living a relatively quiet life in Hampshire, Austen wrote six major novels that revolutionized the novel form. Her works, including Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Sense and Sensibility, and Persuasion, combine romantic plots with incisive social observation and moral seriousness. Though not widely known in her lifetime, she is now considered one of the greatest novelists in English literature.
