About
I don't think Jane Austen needs some presentation, espacially since if you're here you already like and know her. But, anyway, just in case, a few words about her.Jane Austen was born in Steventon, Hampshire, on 16 December 1775. She's known primarily for her six novels, which implicitly interpret, critique, and comment on the English landed gentry at the end of the 18th century:
- Sense and Sensibility (1811)
- Pride and Prejudice (1813)
- Mansfield Park (1814)
- Emma (1816)
- Northanger Abbey (1818)
- Persuasion (1818)
She died of illness in Winchester on 18 July 1817 when she was only 41.
Jane Austen is one of my favourite authors, I loved all of her novels and all of her heroins, my favourite are respectively Pride and Prejudice and Elinor Dashwood (from Sense and Sensibility).
