A sketch of Jane Austen, reflecting the social commentary in Pride and Prejudice and Emma.

Jane Austen

Jane Austen, known for her sharp wit and keen eye, wrote novels like Pride and Prejudice that dissected the social norms of her time, especially when it came to love and marriage. Despite living a quiet life in the English countryside, she managed to turn family drama and societal expectations into some of literature’s most enduring comedies. Her works still resonate because, let’s face it, awkward proposals and social climbing haven’t gone out of style.
