Jane Austen was a novelist whose books, set among the middle and upper classes in English society, have attained an enduring popularity and have been the subject of countless film and TV adaptations. Born in a small village in Hampshire, England, she was one of eight children of a clergyman. She began writing as a teenager, but it was not until 1811, when she was in her early thirties, that her first book, ‘Sense and Sensibility’ was published, followed by her classic novel, ‘Pride and Prejudice’ in 1813. This was followed by ‘Mansfield Park’ (1814) and ‘Emma'(1816). All four books were published anonymously and two more, ‘Persuasion’ and ‘Northanger Abbey’, were published posthumously after her tragically early death in 1817.
