A recent and very successful BBC production of Jane Austen’s “Sense and Sensibility” has brought to the fore one of England’s most successful authors although, her six novels remain popular throughout the world. The writer, George Eliot, has said that Jane Austen was “The greatest artist that has ever written.”
Jane Austen was born in 1775, at the Rectory in Steventon, a little village in north-east Hampshire, on 16th December 1775. She was the seventh child and second daughter of the rector, the Revd George Austen, and his wife Cassandra Leigh in an affectionate and high-spirited family. She lived in the area for most of her life and never married.
