· Jane Austen (1775-1817) born at Steventon Rectory in Hampshire, England. Jane Austen began writing when she was a little girl and by 1787, she had already started to write stories. In 1795, she wrote Elinor and Marianne, and early version of work Sense and Sensibility. In 1796, she wrote the writing of First Impressions, the old entitle of work Pride and Prejudice which turned out to be her most famous work. It is completed in 1797. In 1805 she has given up writing for almost 5 years because of her father and a close friend’s death. In 1809, she returned to Hampshire and started writing again. In 1811, she was rewriting Frist Impressions (Pride and Prejudice). January 23, 1813 it was published. Jane Austen’s other works include Northanger Abbey, Persuasion and Mansfield Park. She died quietly at Winchester in 1817.
· Pride and Prejudice tells a story which centres around a series of misunderstanding between Elizabeth and Darcy. This work has long been a favorite of both readers and cities alike and it often regard as Jane Austen’s consummate achievement. In Pride and Prejudice, she focused on characters of her own social class: the lady and gentlemen of the landed gentry. Though cities paid little attention to this work when it first appeared, it was remarkably well received by readers for its characterization and portrayal of domestic life, or rather, as Sir Walter Scott noted, for Austen’s ability to render commonplace things and characters interesting.
