British writer Jane Austen died

Jane Austen (December 16, 1775 - July 18, 1817) was an English novelist. Born in the rural town of Stevington, her father was a parish priest. Austen did not attend formal school, but received a good family education, and her main teaching material was her father's literary collection. The Austen family loved to read popular novels, mostly vulgar pastimes. Her teenage studies were parodies of such popular novels, which formed the sarcastic tone of her work. She began writing around the age of 20 and published a total of six novels. Sense and Sensibility, published in 1811, was her first novel, followed by Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Gardens (1814), and Emma (1815). Northanger Abbey (also known as Northanger Abbey) and Persuasion (1818) were published the year after her death, with the author's real name signed.

Austin was unmarried all his life and lived a well-off family. Because she lived in a rural town and was exposed to small and medium-sized landlords, priests and other characters and their quiet and comfortable living environment, there were no major social conflicts in her works. With her unique meticulous observation of women, she truly depicts the small world around her, especially the marriage and love turmoil between gentlemen and ladies. Her works are light and witty in style, full of comic conflicts, and are very popular among readers.

Review: Jane Austen was both beautiful and talented, the best of both worlds
