Since this point we are going to treat the writings of our writer in this work. Thanks to a few little lines, we could know the main points of view in each novel. We will only treat them briefly, but I hope this would be the starter point to admire, study and re-discover the life of one of the most important writer, a woman writer, in English literature.

    Generally, the novels of Jane Austen tell us about small groups of rich people, belonging to the bourgeois class and little landowner, and other professions as the Army or the Church, who live in the country. Sometimes the writer shows us scenes of the city life. But all the dramatic importance is based in young women before their marriage.

    The writings you can find in this page are Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion.

    Persuasion was written during her illness, and was almost complete at the time of her death. An unfinished novel outline, Sandition, and earlier short works and juvenile writing were also published after death. Jane Austen wrote slowly, and with extensive revision, although the finished product seems beautifully seamless. Persuasion, which was published as she left it, shows some evidence of incomplete revisions, and in several editions is published with alternative sections taken from Austen's own notes. This provides a fascinating glimpse into the process by which she refined her work.

    By far the most and popular of her novels is Pride and Prejudice, which contains wonderful examples of her humour, irony, and use of double or triple meaning, as well as finely detailed descriptions of English country life of the period. Jane Austen lived and wrote through one of the most violent upheavals in recent English history -- her life encompassed the whole of the Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812, among other events-- and yet her novels contain virtually no hint of the events which were going on around her. She once compared her writing to painting novels bear this out. As such, the works have never become "dated", and even today retain a freshness and clarity that delights modern readers.
