About the author (2007)

Jane Austen ranks as one of the best-loved writers in the English language. Her novels, brimming with wit and populated by unforgettable characters, serve as a trenchant satire on the pretensions and foibles of provincial society. She began writing at a very early age, and went on to produce some of the greatest works of English literature, with "Emma" among her masterpieces.
