- JANE AUSTEN
- (December 16, 1775 - July 18, 1817) was an English writer best known for her six great novels, The Sailors, Criticizing and Waking the Gentiles British Landing in the late 18th century. Austin's plots often examine women's dependence on marriage in pursuit of positive social status and economic security. Her works criticize the sensitivity of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the shift to 19th-century literary realism.
Her use of irony bites, along with her realism, humor and social commentary. Win it for a long time among critics, scholars and popular audiences alike.
With the publications of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816), she achieved success as a published author. She wrote two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, both of which were subsequently published in 1818, and began another, eventually titled Sanditon, but died before its completion. She also left behind three volumes of handwritten youth manuscripts, a short epistolic novel by Lady Susan, and another unfinished novel, Watson. Her six full-length novels have hardly gone out of print, though they were published anonymously, bringing her moderate success and little fame during her lifetime.
A significant transition to her good name after Reputation occurred in 1833, when her novels were republished in Richard Bentley's standard series, published by Ferdinand Pickering, and sold as a set. They gradually gained more acclaim and popular readership. In 1869, fifty-two years after her death, her niece published a compelling version of Jane Austin's memoir of her writing career and her allegedly uneventful life to an enthusiastic audience.
Austin inspired many critical articles and literary anthologies. Her novels have inspired many films, from Pride and Prejudice of the 1940s to more recent productions such as Sense and Sense (1995), Emma (1996), Mansfield Park (1999), Pride and Prejudice (2005), Love and Friendship (2016), and - Her mother. (2020).
