JANE AUSTEN ( 1775-1817) was the seventh of eight children of a clergyman. She was born
at Steventon, about 50 miles southwest of London. She never married and died at the early age of 41 in Winchester, near her birthplace.
Jane Austen was England‘s first great woman novelist. She wrote her first novel, "Love
and Friendship Volume the First", for the amusement of her family when she was about 15 years old. Her six novels, published during a period of nine years, did not become really popular until many years later. Two of her best works, "Pride and Prejudice" (1813) and "Emma" (1816), are set in small English villages like those in which she herself lived. They concern the joys and sorrows,hopes and fears, and successes and failures in the daily lives of people like those she knew. The Bennet family, described in"Pride and Prejudice", is in many ways like her own family while she herself was very like Elizabeth Bennet.
Jane Austen did not write about wars, or other great events, although her life spanned a period of war, revolution and social unrest. Her characters do not become involved in dangerous, life-or-death struggles. Instead, they are involved in the kind of problems everyone faces, the things everyone worries about in his own life and in the lives of his neighbours. She had a subtle sense of humour. Her novels are full of portraits of people who think they are wiser than they are. She makes her readers smile at the human weaknesses and the superficialities of polite society. Her portraits of women have probably never been surpassed.
