Jane Austen (1775-1817)
Famous English Author, Novels Adapted to Films
Jane Austen’s stories are subtle as she tells about young well-bred heroines, injecting the snobbery and the manners of their country-house families. In Pride and Prejudice, a young man and woman begin by disliking each other but at last fall in love. In Emma, a snobbish young woman develops into someone capable of feeling and love.
The commentary of English novelist Jane Austen bites and her masterful use of indirect discourse and irony makes her one of the most influential and respected novelists of the early 19th century.
