Jane Austen: A Legend of Books in the UK

Many of the youngsters joined the course of English literature due to this amazing writer of books in the UK, named as Jane Austen. Jane was an English novelist born in 1775. She was famous for her work in six novels which included critique, interpretation, and comment on the British community at the end of the 18th century. Being a woman, Austen used to understand the flaws of society towards women and tried to depict the story in her novels. Most of her work revolved around the topic where women are dependent on their marriages in order to find a favourable social standing as well as financial security.

If I am not wrong then as per the recent news, “The Royal Mint, in a New Year’s statement, announced that Austen has been chosen as the new image for its commemorative £2 coins. At about the same time, the Bank of England is expected to release its new, plastic, unrippable £10 note and in the process will replace Charles Darwin with an Austen portrait. The notes are expected to be released in summer 2017.”

If you ask then the historians will not be able to recall the last time when anybody was recognized for both coin and notes together other than the reigning monarch. It is the highest paid tribute that anyone has ever received for their work in the UK, that too for their work for books in the UK. She reached the heights of the success due to some of her publications such as Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), Emma (1815), etc.

Some of her work includes:

Novels :

·         Sense and Sensibility (1811)

·         Pride and Prejudice (1813)

·         Mansfield Park (1814)

·         Emma (1815)
