Career
Austen lived her entire life as part of a large, close-knit family who was part of the lower fringes of the English gentry. Austen's artistic apprenticeship lasted from her teenage years until she was about thirty-five years old. During this period, she wrote three major novels and began a fourth. From 1811 until 1815, with the release of Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma, she achieved success as a published writer. She wrote two additional novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, which were both published after her death in 1817. Austen began another novel but died before completing it. -
