The Austen household was pretty much the same. Doesn’t it sound like one of her novels?Īs you can recall from Pride and Prejudice, the Bennet home was always crowded and bustling with life. He also had to farm while the family raised livestock. In fact, her father, who was the rector of the village, ran a boarding school just to supplement their income. Though her family had high social status, they weren’t well-off. Jane Austen was born in 1775 in the quaint village of Steventon in old Hampshire. And to this day, her wit and satire continue to amuse readers. She is celebrated as one of the best literary giants of the Western world. But today, at least three, if not all of her six novels, are in the literary canon. Two hundred years ago, very few people knew of Jane Austen, let alone have read her works.
