Jane Austen

Birth: 1775-12-16

Death: 1817-07-18

Jane Austen was an English novelist whose works brilliantly satirize the British landed gentry at the turn of the 19th century. Her novels, set in the world of country estates and drawing-rooms, are celebrated for their wit, keen social observation, and nuanced exploration of marriage, class, and morality. Through memorable characters and elegant prose, Austen deftly examines the limited options available to women of her time, while championing intelligence, integrity, and genuine affection. Her enduring appeal lies in her timeless insights into human nature and social dynamics.
