Contributor Bio(s): Austen, Jane: - Jane Austen (1775-1817) was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels--Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion--which observe and critique the British gentry of the late eighteenth century. Her mastery of wit, irony, and social commentary made her a beloved and acclaimed author in her lifetime, a distinction she still enjoys today around the world. |
