Jane Austen was born on 16 December, 1775, at the rectory in the village of Steventon, near Basingstoke, in Hampshire. The seventh of eight children of the Reverend George Austen and his wife, Cassandra, she was educated mainly at home and never lived apart from her family. She had a happy childhood amongst all her brothers and the other boys who lodged with the family and whom Mr Austen tutored. From her older sister, Cassandra, she was inseparable. To amuse themselves, the children wrote and performed plays and charades, and even as a little girl Jane was encouraged to write. The reading that she did of the books in her father's extensive library provided material for the short satirical sketches she wrote as a girl.

Jane Austen (1775-1817) Jane Austen kom til verden d. 16. December 1775, som syvende barn af præsten i Steventon, Hampshire i England. I 1784 blev hun sammen med den to år ældre søster, Cassandra, sendt til en pigeskole, hvor hun var i 2 år. Derefter blev hun uddannet hjemme. Da faderen trak sig tilbage, flyttede familien til Bath i det sydlige England, en by der ofte optræder i hendes romaner. Men efter han død flyttede familien tilbage til Hampshire, hvor hun boede med moderen og søsteren til sin død i 1817. Et stille lykkeligt familieliv på landet var rammen om Jane Austens liv. Med lange mellemrum besøgte hun som voksen London, men hun kom aldrig uden for landets grænser. Hun forblev ugift. Jane Austen begyndte tidligt at skrive små historier og satiriske tekster. I 1792 begyndte hun at skrive romaner i brevform. To af dem er bevarede. Den ene, "Ellinor og Marianne", skrev hun senere om i almindelig fortællende form og gav den titlen "Fornuft og Følelse" (Sense and Sensibility"). Den anden, "Lady Susan", blev uændret udgivet efter hendes død. I 1896 tog Jane Austen fat på en "almindelig" roman, som blev skrevet i løbet af 10 måneder. Hun gav den titlen "First Impressions", og under den titel forsøgte hendes fader at få den udgivet hos en kendt forlægger i London. Han afslog med tak tilbudet - uden at have læst en linie af bogen. Først 16 år senere, da Jane Austen allerede var blevet et navn, blev den udgiver. Det var "Stolthed og Fordom" ("Pride and Prejudice").

Library Jane Austen Dictionary Jane Austen Jane moved with her parents and Cassandra to Bath in 1801. Four years later, her father died. By 1807, she moved to Bargate, Southampton. In 1809, Mrs Austen, Cassandra, Jane and Martha Lloyd moved to Chawton, near Alton. Here they lived in the former bailiff' house on the Chawton estate that was left to Jane's brother Edward. It was Jane's final home, where she lived with her mother and sister Cassandra until 1817. At Chawton Jane led a quiet life and focused on novel writing. Jane revised both Sense and Sensibility that was published in 1811, as well as Pride and Prejudice, which was published in 1813. Pride and Prejudice was an instant success. All Jane's novels that appeared during her lifetime were published anonymously, merely bearing the legend "By a Lady". Mansfield Park was published in 1814 and Emma in 1815. Persuasion was published until 1818, after her death. In early 1817 Jane began to write Sanditon, but she became ill and the book was never completed. She died on 18 July at the age of 41.

Austen, Jane from the Encyclopedia Britannica, 11th edition During her placid life Miss Austen never allowed her literary work to interfere with her domestic duties: sewing much and admirably, keeping house, writing many letters and reading aloud. Though, however, her days were quiet and her area circumscribed, she saw enough of middle-class provincial society to find a basis on which her dramatic and humorous faculties might build, and such was her power of searching observation and her sympathetic imagination that there are not in English fiction more faithful representations of the life she knew than we possess in her novels. She had no predecessors in this genre. Miss Austen's "little bit (two inches wide) of ivory" on which she worked "with so fine a brush"her own phraseswas her own invention. Her best-known, if not her best work, Pride and Prejudice , was also her first. It was written between October 1796 and August 1797, although, such was the blindness of publishers, not issued until 1813, two years after Sense and Sensibility , which was written, on an old scenario called "Eleanor and Marianne," in 1797 and 1798. Miss Austen's inability to find a publisher for these stories, and for

Welcome to the official Web Site of the Jane Austen Centre in Bath. The Jane Austen Centre is a new permanent exhibition which tells the story of Jane's Bath experience - the effect that living here had on her and her writing. Jane Austen is perhaps the best known and best loved of Bath's many famous residents and visitors. She paid two long visits here towards the end of the eighteenth century, and from 1801 to 1806 Bath was her home. Her intimate knowledge of the city is reflected in two of her novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion , which are largely set in Bath. The city is still very much as Jane Austen knew it, preserving in its streets, public buildings and townscapes the elegant well-ordered world that she portrays so brilliantly in her novels. Now the pleasure of exploring Jane Austen's Bath can be enhanced by visiting the Jane Austen Centre in Gay Street. Here, in a Georgian town house in the heart of the city, the visitor can find out more about Bath in Jane Austen's time and the importance of Bath in her life and work. We have an attractive shop which offers an unrivalled selection of Jane Austen related books, videos, CD's, cassettes, cards, stationery, lace and needlepoint.

Dances for two, three, four or more couples at a time, they were more lively and relaxed than the complex French dances like the minuet, the boure or the louvre. By the late eighteenth century, most country dances were performed in a "longways" set for five to eight couples, with partners standing opposite each other. Dances were usually performed in what are today called "triple minor longways" sets. That is, the dance began with only the first couple starting at the top and dancing with couples two and three. At the end of one turn through the dance the first couple progressed to dance with couples three and four, while couple two waited or "stood out" at the top of the set for two more turns of the dance until they, too, had an opportunity to begin dancing.

Jane Austen early 19th century novelist whose works are remebered for their wit and social satire. Austen lived her life in an upper-middle class family during the early 19th century in England. It is the day-to-day life of people in this society that is the primary focus of her work. The near perfection for which Austen's novels are known today is a result of her extensive rewriting of these works during her life. Only four of her novels were published during her lifetime, and her contemporary society was, for the most part, unaware of her outstanding achievements. Austen's works combine romantic comedy with social satire and a witty view of her contemporary society.

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." (from Pride and Prejudice Jane Austen was born in Steventon, Hampshire, where her father was a rector. She was the second daughter and seventh child in a family of eight. The first 25 years of her life Austen spent in Hampshire. She was mostly tutored at home, and irregularly at school. Her parents were avid readers and she received a broader education than many women of her time. Her favorite poet was Cowper. On her father's retirement, the family sold off everything, including Jane's piano, and moved to Bath. Austen started to write for family amusement as a child. Her earliest-known writings date from about 1787. Very shy about her writing, she wrote on small pieces of paper that she slipped under the desk plotter if anyone came into the room. In her letters she observed the daily life of her family and fiends in an intimate and gossipy manner: "James danced with Alethea, and cut up the turkey last night with great perseverance. You say nothing of the silk stockings; I flatter myself, therefore, that Charles has not purchased any, as I cannot very well afford to pay for them; all my money is spent in buying white gloves and pink persian."

39. Jane Austen Pride And Prejudice A fan comments on her favorite movie, with pictures from the film, a survey, and other related information and links. http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/7261/index.html

Antus' Fantastic Homepage HI! Welcome to my homepage! This page is devoted to all things Jane Austen. She is my favourite author, and adaptations of her works are my favourite movies. One of my all-time-favourites is the 1995 BBC adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice", starring Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth. Colin Firth as Mr Darcy For those who don't know, it's a 6-part mini-series produced by Sue Birtwistle and with a fantastic screenplay by Andrew Davies. It's definitely one of the best things I've ever seen, and this opinion hasn't changed after at least 100 viewings! Reasons why Pride and Prejudice is the best movie/TV series of all time: 1) No matter how much you watch it, there is always new depth and interest to be found. 2) All aspects of the production don't just stop at the movie. You can go deeper into everything - the themes, the society of the time, the costumes....everything! 3) The casting and acting of the production is brilliant. Every actor contributes to the humour or overall effectiveness of the movie. Even annoying Mary Bennet is great! 4) Mr Darcy is gorgeous, especially when played by Colin Firth!!! ;-)
