    Important Novels

    It was her second published


    novel.Originally called First
    Impressions, it was never
    published under that title.
    The story revolves around
    Elisabeth Bennet, the
    second of five daughters of
    Mr.Bennet, and Mr. Darcy.
    Sense and Sensibility

    Published in 1811, it was


    the first of Austen's novels
    to be published, under the
    pseudonym "A Lady". The
    story revolves around Elinor
    and Marianne and how her
    life is when her dad dies,
    and they live in her new
    house with her brother.
    Emma

    It is a comic novel about the


    perils of misconstrued
    romance. First published in
    December 1815. Before she
    began the novel, Austen
    wrote, "I am going to take a
    heroine whom no-one but
    myself will much like.” In
    the very first sentence she
    introduces the title
    character as "Emma
    Woodhouse, handsome,
    clever, and rich."
    Persuasion

    She began it soon after she


    had finished
    Emma,completing it in
    August, 1816. She died,
    aged 41, in 1817, but
    Persuasion was not
    published until 1818.
    Persuasion is connected
    with Northanger Abbey not
    only by the fact that the two
    books published together
    two years later, If not that
    also for other things that
    are seen in both books.

    Chawton Cottage between
    1812 and 1814. It was
    published in July 1814 by

    Mansfield Park is the most
    controversial and perhaps the
    least popular of Austen's major
    novels. The story contains
    much social satire. This novel
    is the most polemic of the Jane
    Austen’s novels.
    The protagonists of the story
    are Fanny Price and her family.
    Northanger Abbey

    It was the first of Jane


    Austen's novels to be
    completed for publication,
    though she had previously
    made a start on Sense and
    Sensibility and Pride and
    Prejudice.
    Susan (it was her first
    name) was written about
    the years 1798-1799. It was
    sold in 1803.

    -The Watson: it was completed by her niece in the XIX century called
    The Younger Sister.

    -The Three Sisters
    -Love and Freindship (the mistake in the title is very famous)
