Although Jane Austen's works were first published anonymously and brought her little personal recognition, today they are rarely out of print and have inspired movies, television shows and mini-series, literary anthologies, and many other adaptations all around the world. Her writing--principally her five novels--is a critique of the British landed gentry at the end of the eighteenth century, and often a comment on the pursuit of a "good match" in matters of marriage. *Pride and Prejudice* , *Sense and Sensibility* , *Mansfield Park* , *Emma* , and *Northhanger Abbey* remain her most famous works. *Who Was Jane Austen?* reveals the life of this most private author.
