"Jane Austen was an English novelist known for her witty social commentary and ironic use of free indirect speech. Her six novels, originally published anonymously, critique and interpret the lives of the English landed gentry in the late 18th century. Austen's plots often explore how women relied on marriage for economic security and social standing." - wikipedia
