Despite Jane Austen's fame, many aspects of her life remain an enigma. She was born in the rectory of the Steventon, Hampshire, one of eight children. Until the age of 12 she attended schools in Oxford & Reading, & thereafter was educated at home. The Austen household, described as having an abundance of spirit & vivacity, no doubt influenced the humorous writing that Austen produced by the age of 16, including a ' History of England', & the opening scenes of two comedies. Whilst at Steventon, she began writing the novels' First Impressions' (Pride & Prejudice), & ' Susan' (Northanger Abbey). In 1801 the Austen's moved to Bath, & two years later ' Susan' was sold to the publishers but remained unpublished. In 1802 Austen accepted & then declined a proposal of marriage from family friend Harris Bigg-Wither; she remained single for the rest of her life. When her father died in 1805 the family moved to Southampton & then to Chawton Cottage, Hampshire. It was here that Austen's literary career flourished. She revised ' Sense & Sensibility' which in 1811 was published in 3 volumes under an anonymous author. In 1813 the revised ' Pride & Prejudice' was published & met with great success; henceforth the novels were printed in Austen's name. ' Mansfield Park' was published in 1814, as she began to work on ' Emma'
- dedicated by request to HRH The Prince Regent & which, on completion, received praise from Sir Walter Scott. Within the following 2 years ' Emma', ' Persuasion' & the revised ' Susan' were completed. The effort of writing took its toll & Austen sickened with Addison's Disease. She moved to Winchester for medical consultation & was looked after by her beloved sister Cassandra. In 1817, aged 41 years, she died in Cassandra's arms. A year later ' Northanger Abbey' & ' Persuasion' were published. ' Sanditon', the work uncompleted before her death, lasts as a fascinating fragment of literature, promising, teasingly, to surpass even ' Pride & Prejudice' & ' Emma'.
