About Jane Austen
Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English novelist known for her six major novels, which interpret, critique, and comment on the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Her works often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favorable social standing and economic security. Austen's novels, including Pride and Prejudice and Emma, are celebrated for their realism, wit, and social commentary. Despite not achieving much fame during her lifetime, Austen has since become one of the most widely read authors in English literature.
