Biography of Jane Austen Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English writer, born in the family of a priest.
Jane Austen spent the first 25 years of her biography in Steventon, at the home of her father, the parish priest, in Hampshire.
Her first novels were written here: "Pride and Prejudice "(Pride and Prejudice)," Sense and Sensibility "(Sense and Sensibility)," Northanger Abbey " (Northanger Abbey), although they were not published for a very long time.
After her father's retirement in 1801, the family moved to Bath for a few years, and then to Southampton, and finally settled in a small house near Alton, in Hampshire.
This place remained Jane's home for the rest of her life.
"Northanger Abbey" - a satire in a Gothic romantic style, was sold to a publisher for 10 pounds in 1803, but was not published, and then was bought back by family members, and was eventually published posthumously.
The novels published during the life of Jane Austen were " Reason and Feelings "(1811)," Pride and Prejudice "(1813)," Mansfield Park "(1814) and" Emma " (1816).
The novel" Arguments of Reason " (Persuasion) was published in 1818 together with Northanger Abbey.
The writer's name did not appear on any of the titles of her books, and although her own friends knew about her authorship, she received almost no public recognition during her life.
Jane Austen's novels are comedies of manners that describe the self sufficient world of provincial ladies and gentlemen.
Most of her works revolve around the delicate issue of luring husbands to marry daughters.
Jane ridicules stupidity, pretense and stupidity, disposing ironic arguments, ranging from light portrait descriptions in her early works, and to more contemptuous demonstrations in her later novels.
Her works were subjected to the most thorough polishing.
Jane is fully aware of her unsurpassed skill and limitations, comparing herself to a miniaturist.
Today she is considered one of the greatest masters of English novels.
Jane Austen's minor works include youth works, the novel "Lady Susan" and fragments of "Sanditon".
