There is very little autobiographical material available about her, as her well-meaning relatives burned and destroyed most of her diaries and letters after her death. She was the daughter of a country rector and lived all her life in the circle of her large and loving family in a little village in Hampshire, England. The novel was published under the pseudonym “A Lady” by its shy and retiring nineteen-year-old author, Jane Austen, in 1811. Two sisters, one practical and full of commonsense, the other a passionate and emotional creature, an uncaring brother and his avaricious wife, a handsome rake and a faithful gentleman – these are some of the unforgettable characters who make Jane Austen's first published novel, Sense and Sensibility such a delightful, witty and timeless classic. ![]() |
