Jane Austen is known as a novelist from the 18th- 19th century – the
transition from neoclassicism to romanticism to whom Jane gave all
her attention to reflect . The author offer a particularly accent to the position of women, stating that in that period the women were treated like objects, they were not able to have superior studies. Women were literally confined in small spaces but constrained even more effectively by social factors such as “miseducation” and “financial dependency”. Also Austen addresses several topics as well : feminism , religion, morality , education, sexuality , politics and others. Compared to other early 19th-century novels, Austen's have little narrative or scenic description—they contain much more dialogue, whether spoken between characters, written as free indirect speech or represented through letters. For example in Pride and Prejudice , which began as an epistolary novel letters play a decisive role in the protagonist’s education and the opening chapters are theatrical in tone. Austen’s conversations contain many short sentences, question and answer pairs , and rapid exchanges between characters most memorable perhaps on the witty repartee between Elizabeth and Darcy. No other author in her time was able to create such a strong transition between writing styles. Austen used her sharp and sarcastic wit in all of her writing including in one of her most famous works; Pride and Prejudice. Often characterized as "country house novels" or "comedies of manners", Austen's novels also include fairy tale elements. They have less narrative or scenic description and much more dialogue than other early 19th-century novels. Austen shapes a distinctive and subtly constructed voice for each character. Her plots are fundamentally about education; her heroines come to see themselves and their conduct more clearly, and become better, more moral people. While Austen steers clear of the formal moralizing common in early-19th-century literature, morality—characterized by manners, duty to society and religious seriousness—is a central theme of her works. Throughout her novels, serious reading is associated with intellectual and moral development. The extent to which the novels reflect feminist themes has been extensively debated by scholars; most critics agree that the novels highlight how some female characters take charge of their own worlds, while others are confined, physically and spiritually. Almost all Austen's works explore the precarious economic situation in which women of the late-18th and early-19th centuries found themselves.
