Jane Austen was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature. Her realism, biting irony and social commentary have gained her historical importance among scholars and critics.
Her works, though usually popular, were first published anonymously and brought her little personal fame and only a few positive reviews during her lifetime, but by the 1940s she had become widely accepted in academia as a great English writer. Read more about her here...
