Jane Austen

Jane Austen…a great writer of her times, whom I didn’t knew of until recent years. I have been meaning to watch the movie “The Jane Austen Book Club”, released in 2007, I finally had the time. In the short 105 mins, I learnt that Jane Austen has written 6 novels in her life…

click on the novel titles for more details

1. Sense and Sensibility (1811)
2. Pride and Prejudice (1813)
3. Mansfield Park (1814)
4. Emma (1815)
5. Northanger Abbey (1817) (posthumous)
6. Persuasion (1817) (posthumous)

Of the above 6, I would have only read the 1st 2. After having watched the movies, I have decided that Jane Austen shall be a companion in my bag till I have finished the next 4. She wrote about love. I would say its rather controversial for a writer of her times. Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice were great novels. The movie really intrigues you to go and read the novels if you haven’t already done so and it’s not just a girly thing.
