Classic Novels of Jane Austen: Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, Emma, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, and Mansfield Park (Illustrated with TOC and Original Commentary)

As has happened with many of history’s greatest writers, Jane Austen (16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817) did not earn the credit she was due until well after her death. Austen was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, has earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature over the last 150 years.

Austen’s romantic fiction was an interesting genre that belied the fact her writing was laden with realism and a scathing critique on society and the role women played in it during her life. Austen tried several different types of literary styles before settling on writing novels from 1811-1817, releasing Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride & Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816), as well as the companion novels Northanger Abbey and Persuasion. The novels highlighted the dependence of women on marrying high to reach a better social status and financial security.
