Giới thiệu tác giả
Jane Austen (1775–1817) was an English author born in Hampshire, England. She’s best-known for her novels in which she critiques eighteenth-century society and displays her characteristically sharp wit. Austen’s most famous works include ‘Sense and Sensibility’ (1811), ‘Pride and Prejudice’ 1813, and ‘Emma’ (1816). Although her works have now been translated and printed in editions across the globe, Austen was relatively unknown during her lifetime, publishing her novels anonymously.
