Jane Austen was born in 1775 at the village of Steventson, in England. When she was ten, Austen with her sister, Cassandra, attended the Abbey School in Reading, England. Then from 1790 to 1793 she wrote her juvenilia. At the age of 20 she wrote the original version of Northanger Abbey, Sense and Sensibility, and Pride and Prejudice too. In 97 her "first impression" was, rejected by a London publisher. Later her father retired and moved to Bath with her wife and daughters. There Susan another original version of Northanger Abbey was bought by a publisher but it was never issued. In 1804 Austen began and quickly abandoned, "The Wastsons".
One year later her father, George, died. So her mother, Jane and her sister moved to live in a small house provided by her wealthy brother Edward in the village of Chawton, situated in Southern England. Austin began to revising the original versions of Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice. Finally she had a lucky break in 1811 because Sense and Sensibility published. But that didn't finish here, because two years later Pride and Prejudice published, and Mansfield Park were published. So Austin began to work on Emma, another work by Austen. In 1815 Emma was published and was dedicated to Prince Regent, the future George IV at his request. And Austen completed Persuasion.
One year later she composed the fragment "Sanditon", but some time later she abandoned it because of incapacitating illness. Austen was moved to Winchester for medical care in May, and she died there on 18th July. She was buried in Winchester Cathedral on 24th July. Eventually in 1818 Northanger Abbey and Persuasion were published jointly in a for-volume edition, with a biographical preface or Austen by her brother Henry.
