Jane Austen is one of the most famous writers in the English language.

She was born on

December 16, 1775, in Steventon, Hampshire, England. Austen was the seventh child
and second daughter of a clergyman, George Austen, and his wife, Cassandra.
Austen began writing as a teenager and wrote six novels in total, including "Sense and
Sensibility" (1811), "Pride and Prejudice" (1813), "Mansfield Park" (1814), "Emma"
(1815), "Northanger Abbey" (1818), and "Persuasion" (1818).
Her works are known for their witty social commentary and exploration of the lives and
struggles of middle-class women in early 19th century England. Austen's novels are also
known for their romantic plots, which often feature strong-willed heroines and their
relationships with wealthy and often arrogant men.
Austen's novels continue to be popular today, with adaptations of her works appearing
in film, television, and other media. Her novels are considered classics of English
literature and are studied in schools and universities around the world. Austen's
enduring popularity is due in part to the timeless themes of love, social class, and
personal growth that are explored in her works.
