Changes

'''Jane Austen''', was the author of ''[[Pride and Prejudice]]'',

'''Jane Austen''' was a British writer in the early nineteenth century. Though her canon includes various comic stories, six completed novels, and two unfinished novels, her best-known work may be ''[[Pride and Prejudice]]''.

the 200-year-old classic novel of upper-middle-class British leisure society.

She wrote her first two novels ten years before they came out, and later re-issued them as ''Sense and Sensibility'' (1811) and ''Pride and Prejudice'' (1813). ''Mansfield Park'' and ''Emma'' followed in 1814 and 1815.

She wrote her first two works, ''[[Sense and Sensibility]]'' and ''[[Pride and Prejudice]]'', in her early twenties. ''[[Northanger Abbey]]'', her third manuscript, sold to a publisher for ten pounds, but was not immediately published.

 

Austen's family moved to Bath when she was 25. This marks the beginning of a fallow period in her writing, and eight years of much family upheaval. In 1809, Austen, her sisters, and her mother moved to Chawton, where she was able to write again.

 

''[[Sense and Sensibility]]'' was finally published in 1811, and ''[[Pride and Prejudice]]'' followed in 1813. ''[[Mansfield Park]]'' and ''[[Emma]]'' followed in 1814 and 1815. Austen finished her work ''[[Persuasion]]'' in 1816, when the rights for ''[[Northanger Abbey]]'' were bought back by Austen's brother.

 

Jane Austen died July 18, 1817, just a few months before her last two novels were published together in December, finally identifying her and her previous works.
