It is the birthday of English writer Jane Austen (1775), who is remembered for
Sense and Sensibility (1811), P
ride and Prejudice (1813),
Mansfield Park (1814), and
Emma (1816), novels set among the landed gentry in late 18th- and early 19th-century England. She is among the most widely read authors in English literature, though during her lifetime she achieved only modest success. Publication of
A Memoir of Jane Austen (1869) by her nephew James Edward Austen brought her wider recognition.
