PROJECT
.Biography.
Jane Austen was born on December 16,1775, in the village of
Steventon, Hampsire, where her father was rector.She was the seventh child in a
boisterous family of six boys and two girls. Reading and playacting were
favorite pastimes, and Austen began writing as a young girl. Her “Juvenilia”
written between 1787 and 1795, survive in three notebooks and include “Lady
Susan”, a short novel-in-letters. In1796 she complete another epistolary novel
called”Elinor and Marianne”, later revised to become “Sense and Sensibility”.
In 1797 she finished the first version of “Pride and prejudice”, called “First
Impressions”.
“Northanger Abbey”, the last of the early novels, was
written in 1798 or 1799 as “Susan”.
Until 1801, when her father retired and the family moved to
Bath, Austen enjoyed a comfortable life, mixing in the best society in the
neighborhood, keeping a carriage and a pair of horses, and attending dances at
the stately homes of the local gentry. Neither nor her sister Cassandra
married, but the reasons for this remain conjectural, as Cassandra burned or
censored Austenīs surviving letters after her death. The eight years following
the move from Steventon were evidently unsettled and unhappy ones. “The
Watsons”, her only writing from this period, was never completed. But from
1809, when settled again in her beloved Hampshire, until her final illness in
1817, she lived a productive life in a pleasant cottage in Chawton provided by
her wealthy brother Edward.
In 1811 “Sense and Sensibility” was published anonymously:
the title page started only that it was “By a Lady”. Immediately successful,
this first novel was followed by “Pride and Perjudice” in 1813 and “Mansfield
Park” in 1814.
“Emma”, written between 1814 and 1815, was respectfully
dedicated at royal command George IV. In 1816, already in declining health,
Austen wrote “Persuasion” and revised “Susan” into Northanger Abbey. Her last
work, “Sandition”, was left unfinished at her death on July 18, 1817. Austenīs
identity as an author was announced to the world posthumously by her favorite
brother, Henry, who supervised the publication of “Northanger Abbey” and
“Persuasion” in 1818.
. Project.
Jane Austen have a much complete career and I will speak
of her books most famous.
In 1811 was published “Sense and Sensibility”, this novel
featured two sisters of varying temperaments, and Marianne. At their fatherīs
death left without fortune, they are left to the love, loss and life in their
different manners.
“Pride and Perjudice” was plublished early 1813. A delightful
mix of irony and of course romance, this is one of Jane Austenīs most popular
novel.
Austen describes this novel “her own darling child”, in a
letter to her sister Cassandra, that was “too light and bright and sparkling;
it wants shade; it will be streatched out here and there with a long chapter—of
sense if it could be not, of solemn specious nonsense—about something
unconnected .
Jane Austen uses the irony to entertain the reader and to
highlight the characters. This is especially the case where Elizabeth is
involved. In the beginning of Elizabeth, who is proud of her judgement of
character.
The irony has always been considered entertaining,
despite the time differences, and is a tool that Austen uses in “Pride and
Perjudice” without restraint.
In many of Austenīs novels she discusses many themes
through the representations of characters, situations and society. Pride and
Perjudice is one the greatest examples of this. It is the themes that Austen
uses in the novel Pride and Perjudice are in to society today. This themes are
for example: feminism and the level and form of education, are not present as
sermon, but gently introduced in such as that they create a more diverse story.
The characters of Pride and Perjudice are exaggerated in
such a way that they become obvious to the reader. Jane Austen uses this to
play on the readerīs about the characters. Despite the fact that there are many
themes in Pride and Perjudice to entertain, it is important remember that
Austen wrote Pride… to entertain not to uses it a medium to give sermons to its
readers.
“Mansfield Park” was published in1814, this novels
features a rather dubious heroine of Fanny. Auten was writing this when Pride
and Perjudice was being received the acclaim of the public; this novel was released
in May, and had sold out by autumn.
At the beginning of 1814, Jane began to write this
brilliant novel; it was finished in1815 and published in 1816. The heroine
Emma, an heiress determinate to marry.
“Northanger Abbey” was published in 1818 (posthumously),
this novel is a ghotic satire,.
And for finish
the novel “Persuasion”, it is similar to Northanger Abbey; it was published in
1818 how the Northanger……
. Conclusion.
Jane Austen can be classified as one of the greatest
woman authors because she open the way to more women authors. And she animated
to others women for study and write ; for to leave the margination.
