- About the Contributor(s):
Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775, at Steventon near Basingstoke, England, the seventh child of the rector of the parish. She lived with her family at Steventon until they moved to Bath in 1801, when her father retired. After his death in 1805, she moved around with her mother; in 1809, they settled in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire. Here she remained, except for a few visits to London, until in May 1817 she moved to Winchester to be near her doctor. There she died on July 18, 1817. As a girl, Jane Austen wrote stories, including burlesques of popular romances. Her works were published only after extensive revision; four novels were published in her lifetime. These are Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1816). Two other novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published posthumously in 1818 with a biographical notice by her brother, Henry Austen, the first formal announcement of her authorship. At the time of her death, she was working on a new novel, Sanditon, a fragmentary draft of which survives.
