The satiric tone and subtle sarcasm that have tons of takers now were all the creative output of a social commentator in her prime, who seemed to have picked up a pen very by the way in a kind of pre-Victorian live reportage.
Before dying at the early age of 41, Miss Austen indulged in much wit, plot, societal send-up and some major plain-speak via her stories. HT Imageīorn in 1775, Jane was a regular bachelorette of her times - sewing, reading, spending time with her large family, writing poetry and prose. '5 or 4 families in a Country Village is the very thing to work on,' Jane once told someone who wanted to write. From all accounts, this chronicler of provinicial middleclass life pretty much lived what she wrote.
Long before literary critics and avid readers took a magnifying glass to all that she ever wrote or thought, there was this young woman by the name of Jane Austen scribbling, scribbling, scribbling all hours of the day in Steventon, Hampshire.
