Jane Austen

English novelist · 1775–1817

Jane Austen wrote sharply observed novels about family, money, status, judgment and marriage. Her controlled narrative voice and use of irony gave psychological and social depth to apparently domestic stories, and her six completed novels remain central to English literature.
