Jane Austen by G.G. Urwin, M.A., PH. D. (London) from ' Humorists Of The Eighteenth Century There were plenty of women writers by the end of the century, but their novels were chiefly concerned with highly coloured romance in aristocratic circles, often disguised as history, or with mystery-horror stories involving pathetic love affairs. Of humour they had none. If one wishes to find an example of humorous writing by a woman born before the present century, one must always refer to Jane Austen. Yet, although her works were published in the 1800's, her style belongs to an earlier period, and, indeed, much of the preliminary writing of her novels was done before the turn of the century. Because she was born in the countryside and spent all her life in the provinces, she dealt with the secluded parts of England; and as she was accustomed only to the commonplace events of upper middle-class society, she confined her characters to the genteel men and women whose main purpose in life was to live comfortably on incomes derived from well-managed estates. She was a snob, a gentle snob: for her, poverty was an unfortunate state of affairs that was either ignored or rectified by kind friends; vice did not exist, and mankind's worst failing was vulgarity; no moral lesson was implied in any of her books because she saw no reason to stress principles that she took for granted. Because she never married yet was by nature a most affectionate woman, her short life was devoted to the concerns of her family. To her, Bath and Southampton were centres of polite society; her days were spent in rectories, well-appointed apartments, or manor houses; her pleasures were those derived from social gatherings in the home or in the houses of friends, or from carrying on a leisurely correspondence.

Encyclopedia Austen, Jane u n] Pronunciation Key Austen, Jane Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Northanger Abbey, were written, although they were not published until much later. On her father's retirement in 1801, the family moved to Bath for several years and then to Southampton, settling finally at Chawton Cottage, near Alton, Hampshire, which was Jane's home for the rest of her life. Northanger Abbey, a satire on the Gothic romance Sense and Sensibility Pride and Prejudice Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma Persuasion was issued in 1818 with Northanger Abbey. The author's name did not appear on any of her title pages, and although her own friends knew of her authorship, she received little public recognition in her lifetime. Jane Austen's novels are comedies of manners that depict the self-contained world of provincial ladies and gentlemen. Most of her works revolve around the delicate business of providing husbands for marriageable daughters. She is particularly noted for her vivid delineations and lively interplay of character, her superb sense of comic irony, and her moral firmness. She ridicules the silly, the affected, and the stupid, ranging in her satire from light portraiture in her early works to more scornful exposures in her later novels. Her writing was subjected to the most careful polishing. She was quite aware of her special excellences and limitations, comparing herself to a miniaturist. Today she is regarded as one of the great masters of the English novel. Her minor works include her

That it appeared with a dedication to the Prince Regent, a person whose debauched lifestyle Austen had condemned, and a type she would normally satirize, is a story that might itself have stepped from one of her books all of them written by "laughing at myself or other people." Jane Austen Remaindered On this day in 1817, Jane Austen died, at the age of forty-one. She had been increasingly ill over the previous year and a half, probably from a hormonal disorder like Addison's Disease. Austen's devoted older sister, Cassandra, inherited all the author's papers, from which she expurgated some but not all of Jane's enduring wit and one-liners.
