Jane, sexta y ultima hija del reverendo de Steventon, vivio siempre con sus padres, hermanos y sobrinos en Hampshire y Bath. Educada en casa y con una vasta biblioteca a su disposicion, escribio relatos desde muy joven, que se recogen en suJuvenilia. Antes de los veintiun anos, empezo la elaboracion de Orgullo y prejuicio. Despues, le seguirian Mansfield Park, Sentido y sensibilidad, Emma, Persuasion, Los Watson y La abadia de Northanger, obras que reescribiria a lo largo de su vida. Poco antes de los cuarenta y un anos, empezo a escribir Sanditon, que dejaria inacabada al fallecer prematuramente. A pesar de empezar publicando sus novelas de forma anonima, murio con casi toda su obra publicada y cierto reconocimiento en Inglaterra. La ironia y el retrato de la sociedad de su tiempo hacen de su obra un punto de referencia ineludible en la historia de la literatura universal. / Jane Austeen (Steventon, 1775 Winchester, 1817) It is the first great woman of English literature. However, her talent is not always received unanimous acceptance and although she achieved fame in life, it took her time to get to the canonical position she has nowadays. Jane, the sixth and last child of Reverend Steventon, lived always with her parents, siblings and nephews in Hampshire and Bath. Homeschooled and with a vast library at her disposal, she wrote stories from an early age, which are collected in her Juvenilia. Before the age of twenty, she began writing Pride and Prejudice. It would then be followed by Mansfield Park, Sense and Sensibility, Emma, Persuasion, The Watsons and Northanger Abbey, works she would rewrite throughout her life. Shortly before the age of forty-one, she began writing Sanditon, which she left unfinished when passing away prematurely. Despite start publishing her novels anonymously, she died with most of her work published and some recognition in England. The irony and the portrait of society of her time turn her work into an unavoidable point of reference in the history of world literature." See less
