Description: One of England's most popular novelists, Jane Austen wrote about life amid the gentry of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In her fiction, Austen analyzed and satirized her world, particularly the expectations and duties of women in an unequal society. She was also a prolific correspondent, and her intimate, gossipy letters to family and friends offer unique insights into her life and work.
