Description:
Jane Austen was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature. Her realism, biting irony and social commentary as well as her acclaimed plots have gained her historical importance among scholars and critics.
Austen lived her entire life as part of a close-knit family located on the lower fringes of the English landed gentry. She was educated primarily by her father and older brothers as well as through her own reading. The steadfast support of her family was critical to her development as a professional writer.

"A person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid. ~ Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library. ~Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much! "
