Best Collection of Jane Austen’s letters and other works (with search)

Jane Austen was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction set among the gentry have earned her a place as one of the most widely read and most beloved writers in English literature. Amongst scholars and critics, Austens realism and biting social commentary have cemented her historical importance as a writer.

Austens works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the eighteenth century and are part of the transition to nineteenth-century realism. Austens plots, though fundamentally comic, highlight the dependence of women on marriage to secure social standing and economic security. Like those of Samuel Johnson, one of the strongest influences on her writing, her works are concerned with moral issues.
