Born in 1775 in Steventon, a small village in Hampshire, Jane Austen has gone down in history as one of the most enduring voices in English literature. Growing up in a modest but culturally rich environment where her father was a clergyman, Austen studied in different cities such as Oxford and Southampton and completed her education at the Abbey School in Reading. His interest in writing blossomed at a very early age; The short pieces he started writing when he was only fourteen years old were the first signs of that sharp observation ability that would later take him to the top of world literature. Austen's novels stand out with their treatment of the daily life of the English provincial bourgeoisie, male-female relations and the institution of marriage with a unique irony and psychological depth. Following her father's death in 1805, Austen moved first to Southampton and then to Chawton to live with her rich brother, and spent her most productive writing period in this small house. This house, which has been converted into a museum today, continues to be an important stopping point for literature enthusiasts from around the world. The vast majority of his works have had an impact extending well beyond the time of his death in 1817, and have been adapted for film and television many times since the twentieth century. Pride and Prejudice came to the screens as a 1995 BBC series and attracted great attention under the name Pride and Prejudice; The 2005 film adaptation, directed by Joe Wright, reached large audiences in the international arena and brought Austen's name back to the center of the agenda. The 2008 adaptation of Sense and Sensibility and the Sanditon series, based on his unfinished last novel, can be considered as concrete evidence of how the author's legacy is kept alive. With the works she wrote in her short life of forty-one years, Jane Austen is one of the rare writers whose marks she left on the world of literature are still indelible today.
