Author : Jane Austen

Jane Austen was a renowned English novelist celebrated for her insightful exploration of the British landed gentry at the turn of the 19th century. Her six major novels, including classics like *Pride and Prejudice* and *Emma*, adeptly examine women's dependence on marriage for social and economic security while offering sharp critiques of contemporary literary trends. Through her masterful blend of social commentary, realism, and irony, Austen's works transitioned from the novels of sensibility to the emerging literary realism of her time. Although her novels achieved modest success during her lifetime, they gained significant recognition posthumously, particularly after their 1833 republication. Austen's writing has since garnered enduring acclaim, inspiring numerous adaptations and scholarly analyses, solidifying her place as a pivotal figure in English literature.
