Jane Austen



Jane Austen was an author whose novels drew on the 18th- and 19th-century English privileged classes of society. Because of the status of female authors of the time, her works were often published anonymously, but her name has since garnered great fame and notoriety. Her most popular works, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma, have been adapted into several features made for television and cinema.
