Jane Austen (1775-1817), the renowned English novelist, has long been celebrated for her sharp wit, keen social perception, and her profound ability to convey the subtleties of human relationship and class distinctions. Austen's literary career spans six major novels which are pillars in the canon of English literature. Her most recognized works include 'Pride and Prejudice,' 'Sense and Sensibility,' 'Mansfield Park,' 'Emma,' 'Northanger Abbey,' and 'Persuasion.' These novels have been compiled in collections such as 'Jane Austen: The Complete Novels (The Greatest Novelists of All Time – Book 6).' Born in Steventon, Hampshire, Austen lived much of her life in the English countryside, which provided the setting for much of her fiction. Despite her novels being published anonymously during her lifetime, her identity as an author became known posthumously, with her brother's acknowledgement in the publication of her remaining works. Austen's prose is celebrated for its realism, humor, and social commentary, and she is often regarded for the distinctive narrative voice that involves the free indirect speech technique. Her novels, while romantic, do not shy away from criticism of the societal norms and the constraints placed on women in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Austen's wit and insightful observation make her works timeless, offering relevance to contemporary readers and maintaining a revered place in both academic discourse and popular culture.
