Who was Jane Austen?
Jane Austen (1775–1817) published anonymously in her lifetime — 'By a Lady' — and earned modest sums for six novels that now anchor the English canon. Working within the small compass of provincial gentry life, she perfected the ironic narration that lets a reader see a character more clearly than the character sees herself.
