Jane Austen
Jane was born in 16th December, 1775 in Steventon. Her dowry was low, and her chance for a good marriage was small.
She had six siblings - five brothers and one sister, with whom she was corresponding excessively.
Austen has been home-schooled, she was learning playing on piano and paint, her parents aditionally were revealing before her the canon of the classical literature.
In 1800, Austen and her family moved to Bath, where she lived her best years. After death of her father, she moved to Southampton.
Jane Austen never had a husband, though she had few romantical relationship - with Thomas Lefroy from Ireland, later with a man who she met on vacations and at last - Harris Bigg-Wither, much younger man, who asked her for her hand. She agreed, but after one day, she broke the engagement.
Jane Austen began writing seriously after returning to Hampshire with her family. She made corrections to the sketches of Sense and Sensibility, which she wrote still in Steventon. The book was published anonymously in 1811. In 1813, Pride and Prejudice appeared - during this period Austin was already working on the novel Mansfield Park, published a year later. Each of the books was a great success. Then Jane started creating Emma and Persuasion. She was still an anonymous author - after her death in 1817, her son published her books under her name.
She became famous primarily as the author of novels in which she reflected the realities of the English upper class of the nineteenth century. She had a keen sense of observation and closely watched the lives of aristocrats. Conclusions and comments drawn directly from life added value and drama to her works. Their plot most often focuses on the problem of getting married. In her works, she followed and carefully assessed the psyche of the characters, thanks to which her novels can be viewed not only as romances. Austen's talent and sense of observation was noticed by Walter Scott himself, who more than once praised her novels.
