She didn't just write about love -- many people during that time were doing it (Anne Radcliffe, Fanny Burney, Maria Edgeworth, etc) but she wrote about it always keeping an eye on how it was constructed, and keeping in mind the gendered literary ethos of her time (or rather, critical of the literary ethos). fyi, the great w.h. auden wrote about jane austen: There is one other author in my pack: For some time I debated which to write to.

There is one other author in my pack:
For some time I debated which to write to.
Which would be least likely to send my letter back?
But I decided I’d give a fright to
Jane Austen if I wrote when I had no right to,
and share in her contempt the dreadful fates
Of Crawford, Musgrave, and Mr. Yates.
You could not shock her more than she shocks me;
Besides her Joyce seems innocent as grass.
It makes me uncomfortable to see
An English spinster of the middle class
Describe the amorous effects of `brass’,
Reveal so frankly and with such sobriety
The economic basis of society.
