Jane Austen was a major English novelist, whose brilliantly witty, elegantly structured satirical fiction marks the transition in English literature from 18th century neo-classicism to 19th century romanticism.
Jane Austen was born on 16 December, 1775, at the rectory in the village of Steventon, near Basingstoke, in Hampshire. The seventh of eight children of the Reverend George Austen and his wife, Cassandra, she was educated mainly at home and never lived apart from her family. She had a happy childhood amongst all her brothers and the other boys who lodged with the family and whom Mr Austen tutored. From her older sister, Cassandra, she was inseparable. To amuse themselves, the children wrote and performed plays and charades, and even as a little girl Jane was encouraged to write. The reading that she did of the books in her father's extensive library provided material for the short satirical sketches she wrote as a girl.

everyone who says hampshire is right!!! i live in basingstoke - steventon is just outside this glorious town! as we come back into basingstoke, there is a BIG sign that reads "jane austen country!" which is a bit daft cos its a county! and its the only sign that says that! you would think that if we were so proud of it, we would have the exact same sign on our boarders with all our counties - eg dorset and wiltshire! we dont take enough pride in it - gonna get on to the council about that me thinks!
