Jane Austen (1775–1817) was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favorable social standing and economic security. With a sharp wit and a keen understanding of the human psyche, Austen's works have not only been the subject of scholarly study but also beloved by general readers. Her novels, which include 'Pride and Prejudice,' 'Sense and Sensibility,' 'Mansfield Park,' 'Emma,' 'Northanger Abbey,' and 'Persuasion,' are considered literary classics, encapsulating the quiet and often satirical social commentary of the English middle class. Austen's use of irony, realism and social commentary has earned her acclaim among critics and scholars alike. Her narrative style is characterized by its humor, subtlety and a well-crafted dialogue, which has made her an enduring figure in English literature. 'The Complete Novels of Jane Austen' is a collection that showcases the full breadth of her literary talent and enduring legacy. While her personal life was relatively quiet and the detail sparse, Austen's novels continue to draw attention for their timeless relevance and the skill with which they portray the complexities and nuances of human relationships.
