Jane Austen was an English novelist known for her timeless literary works, including "Pride and Prejudice," "Sense and Sensibility," and "Emma." Born in 1775 in Hampshire, England, Austen achieved literary fame during the Regency era. Her novels often satirized societal norms and focused on themes of love, marriage, and social class. Despite facing challenges as a female author in a male-dominated industry, Austen’s wit, humor, and insight have cemented her as one of the most celebrated writers in English literature. She passed away in 1817, but her works continue to be beloved by readers worldwide.
