Jane Austen was born in Steventon, England, in 1775, where she lived for the first 25 years of her life. Her father, George Austen, was the rector of the local parish, and provided most of her education in their home. She began to write while in her teens and completed the original manuscript of Pride and Prejudice First Impressions, between 1796 and 1797. Pride and Prejudice was published in January 1813, two years after Sense and Sensibility, her first novel.

Persuasion follows Anne Elliot, a strong young woman, as she is reacquainted with her once-fiance, Frederick Wentworth. In Austen’s beloved witty writing, the story follows the duo and their families as they face financial troubles, crisscrossed relationships, the strong emotions of jealousy and unrequited affection, and the societal pressures of the age.

In Northanger Abbey, a young woman's penchant for sensational Gothic novels leads to misunderstandings in the matters of the heart. Austen's first, this is considered by many to be among her most charming novels.

Anne Elliot lives at Kellynch Hall with her two sisters and vain father, Sir Walter. When financial struggles begin to affect the Elliot family, they decide to move to Bath. Anne decides to visit before the move and runs into many old friends. Most surprisingly, she is reunited with Fredrick Wentworth, a past fiancé who, under advice from her father and a friend, Lady Russell, never married.

Considerato un romanzo "atipico" nella produzione letteraria di Jane Austen (Inghilterra, 1775/1817), "Persuasione" è il romanzo della maturità di Jane, dove i toni spumeggianti ed ironici che la caratterizzano lasciano il posto ad una narrazione dai toni più malinconici e introspettivi. Unica concessione all'ironia austeniana, il personaggio del padre della protagonista, un baronetto sciocco e vanesio il cui unico scopo nella vita è quello di apparire sempre giovane e bello.

Uno dei romanzi più famosi della Austen, da lei scritto a vent’anni, manifesta una maturità insolita per l’età, ed è stato utilizzato per numerosi film. L’ironia e l’intelligenza della scrittrice descrivono la vita della società inglese nel settecento, e come questa poteva essere, per le donne, un impedimento ad essere considerate semplicemente esseri umani.

Jane Austen's most popular novel, originally published in 1813, some 17 years after it was first written, presents the Bennet family of Longbourn.

The spotlight falls on Elizabeth, second eldest, who is courted by Darcy, though initially she is more concerned with the fate of her other sisters.
