JANE AUSTEN
English writer Jane Austen was born in Steventon on December 16, 1775.
Jane
Austen is one of England’s most famous writers and one of the most important
writers of the pre-Romantic period.In 1797 he finished writing "Pride and Prejudice",
his first novel, which was only published in 1813.
In 1798, he finished "Reason and
Feeling", which was published in 1811, and "Northanger Abbey".
In 1801 she moved
to Bath and there she began writing "I Watson", a work that remained incomplete.
In
1805 his father died suddenly and the whole family moved first to Southampton and
then, from 1809, to Chawtown.
In the latter village, Jane devoted herself to reviewing
the 3 novels she had already written, in anticipation of publication, and wrote 3 other
novels: "Mansfield Park", "Emma" and "Persuasion".
In 1816 Jane Austen fell ill with
an unspecified illness.
Austen died and was buried in Winchester Cathedral.
Her
novels were published anonymously and only after the publication of "Persuasion",
published posthumously, was her name revealed as the author of the works.During
her life, she was an acute observer of human society: in fact, she possessed a great
ability to read inside people.

mores, social behavior and character.
The costume novel allowed her to explore
people’s character, personal relationships, class distinctions, and their effect on
human behavior, the role of money, and goods.
The plots of his novels are mainly
based on the traditional values of the landowners' families and the upper middle
class.The happy ending is a common element in his novels.
The author also deals
with love and sexual attraction in her general opinion that impulses and states of
intense emotion should be controlled by personal reflection.
The protagonists of her
novels, after a crisis or climax, manage to come to terms with their feelings.
And it is
precisely this conquest that allows them to assert themselves and to maintain their
moral autonomy.

daughters in a bad light so that Darcy, seeing the friend destined for a marriage
without prestige, tries to change his mind.
He is determined to do this, but at the second dance of the month he falls in love
with Lizzy, who however considers him a haughty and unpleasant person because of
the rude behavior towards her during the dance.
