SynopsisIn a publishing career that spanned less than a decade, Jane Austen revolutionized the literary romance, using it as a stage from which to address issues of gender politics and class-consciousness rarely expressed in her day. The novels included in this beautiful leatherbound edition represent all of Austen's mature work as a novelist, and provide the reader with an introduction to the world she and her memorable characters inhabited. 1.Sense and Sensibility 2.Pride and Prejudice 3.Mansfield Park 4.Emma 5.Northanger Abbey 6.Persuasion 7.Lady Susan Name: Jane Austen Date of Birth: December 16, 1775 Place of Birth: Village of Steventon in Hampshire, England Date of Death: July 18, 1817 Place of Death: Winchester, Hampshire, England Education: Taught at home by her father BiographyIn 1801, George Austen retired from the clergy, and Jane, Cassandra, and their parents took up residence in Bath, a fashionable town Jane liked far less than her native village. Jane seems to have written little during this period. When Mr. Austen died in 1805, the three women, Mrs. Austen and her daughters, moved first to Southampton and then, partly subsidized by Jane's brothers, occupied a house in Chawton, a village not unlike Jane's first home. T she began to work on writing and pursued publishing once more, leading to the anonymous publication of Sense and Sensibility in 1811 and Pride and Prejudice in 1813, to modestly good reviews. Known for her cheerful, modest, and witty character, Jane Austen had a busy family and social life, but as far as we know very little direct romantic experience. T were early flirtations, a quickly retracted agreement to marry the wealthy brother of a friend, and a rumored short-lived attachment -- while she was traveling -- that has not been verified. Her last years were quiet and devoted to family, friends, and writing her final novels. In 1817 she had to interrupt work on her last and unfinished novel, Sanditon , because she fell ill. She died on July 18, 1817, in Winchester, w she had been taken for medical treatment. After her death, her novels Northanger Abbey and Persuasion were published, together with a biographical notice, due to the efforts of her brother Henry. Austen is buried in Winchester Cathedral.
