The British writer Jane Austen was born on December 16, 1775 in Steventon (Hampshire, England). She died in Winchester a few months before her 42nd birthday. Austen's major works include Pride and Prejudice and Emma, both classics of English literature. Austen's realism paired with biting irony and social criticism give her work a historical meaning and so she is revered today as a great English writer.
