About the Author

Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775, at Steventon near Basingstoke, England, the seventh child of the rector of the parish. As a girl Austen wrote stories including burlesques of popular romances. During her lifetime, she anonymously published four novels, all considered literary classics: Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1816). Two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published posthumously in 1818 with a biographical notice by her brother, Henry Austen, the first formal announcement of her authorship. Persuasion was written in a race against failing health in 1815-1816. She left behind several unpublished works including Lady Susan, a short epistolary novel, and two unfinished longer novels, The Watsons and Sanditon, a fragmentary draft of which still survives.
