The English author Jane Austen lived from 1775 to 1817. Born on December 16th, 1775 at Steventon, Hampshire, England. Austen was one of eight children of an English clergyman, and given the accomplishments of her novels. She was educated mainly at home. At an early age she began writing sketches and satires of popular novels for her family's entertainment. As a clergyman's daughter from a well-connected family, she had ample opportunity to study the habits of the middle class, the gentry, and the aristocracy. She lived a remarkably quiet and domestic life in the rural south of England. She never married and was only 41 when she died.
Jane Austen's novels were witty, warm and ironic portraits of the privileged classes of 18th- and 19th-century England. Her novels are highly prized not only for their light irony, humor, and depiction of contemporary English country life, but also for their underlying serious qualities.
