Jane enjoyed social events, and her early letters tell of dances and parties; however, there is little solid evidence of any serious courtship with men, apart from a mutual flirtation with an Irishman Thomas Lefroy and an unsubstantiated story of a holiday romance with a young man , who supposedly told Jane, when parting at the end of the holiday, that he would seek her out again. However, they heard a little time later that he had died.
In 1801 when Jane's father retired, the family moved to Bath, and then in 1806 to Southampton. Three years later, together with her sister and mother, she moved to Chawton, near Alton and Winchester, where her brother Edward provided a small house on one of his estates. She remained there for the rest of her life until she died on Friday 18th July 1817 aged 41. It was not known what caused her death, but it seems likely that it was Addison's disease.
Her literary career began at the age of fifteen, when she started work on her Juvenilia, which were written between 1787 and 1793, they are collected in three volumes and were originally written for the amusement of her family.
Earlier versions of her novels were all begun and worked on from 1795 to 1799. Sense and Sensibility was finally published in 1811, Pride and Prejudice in 1813, Mansfield Park in 1814, Emma in 1816. Northanger Abbey and Persuasion were both published posthumously in 1818. In her works she generally portrayed small groups of people in a limited environment, and moulding the trivial incidents of their lives into a comedy of manners. Most of her characters are middle-class in constant pursuit of courtship and marriage.

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Jane Austen is without question, one of England's most enduring and skilled novelists. With her wit, social precision, and unerring ability to create some of literature's most charismatic and believable heroines, she mesmerises her readers as much today as when her novels were first published. Whether it is her sharp, ironic gaze at the Gothic genre invoked by the adventures of Catherine Morland in 'Northanger Abbey'; the diffident and much put-upon Fanny Price struggling to cope with her emotions in 'Mansfield Park'; her delightfully paced comedy of manners and the machinations of the sisters Elinor and Marianne in 'Sense and Sensibility'; the quiet strength of Anne Elliot in 'Persuasion' succeeding in a world designed to subjugate her very existence; and Emma - 'a heroine whom no one but myself will like' teased Austen - yet another irresistible character on fire with imagination and foresight. Indeed not unlike her renowned creator. Jane Austen is as sure-footed in her steps through society's whirlpools of convention and prosaic mores as she is in her sometimes restrained but ever precise and enduring prose. Other Novels include: 'Pride and Prejudice' and 'Lady Susan' AUTHOR: Jane Austen (1775 1817) was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature.
