Jane Austen

These days,I'm fond of the novels from Jane Austen,an English novelist in the 18th century,she left six complete novels to history of the English literature,like Pride and Prejudice,Sense and Sensibility. According to the novels of Jane,I started to have a knowledge of landed gentry in Britain,which is familiar with the feudalism in old China.Jane worked on romantic fiction in het entire life,actually,I think the most romantic story is hers,due to the film named Becoming Jane,acted by Anne Hathaway and James McAvoy.She was so sane that didn't get married.She was so wise to analyse the reality of the only way for women to guarantee life is getting married in that times,besides,women didn't have the right to receive the property from elder generation.It was a tragedy of the age,also the tragedy of women.However,in her novels,we can also feel the spirit of characters,courage to against the traditional limits for women,to pursue happiness and so on.Whilst,Jane's novels also set an example for others about how to write a love novel. Her realism and biting social commentary has gained her historical importance among scholars and critics,and also gained fans around the world number in the millions today,and I'm one of them.
