Abstract
We studied Jane Austen as a romantic writer, although her interests lie outside the range of romantic elements. Jane Austen lived all her life (except for a few years) in the countryside. She started writing to entertain her family, she published 6 novels (their date does not correspond to the date of published). Before she was 25, she wrote:
- Sense and Sensibility
- Pride and Prejudice
- Northanger Abbey after she was 35:
- Emma
- Persuasion
There is only one change between the two periods, the brilliant irony of the early books gives way to a greater depth of feeling and thoughtfulness.
