Jane Austen, author of Pride and Prejudice, was known for her timeless and domestic style of writing. Austen was born on December 18,1817, during the late Georgian period. She was born in Steventon, England. In her family, she was the seventh child out of eight. She was closest with her sister, Cassandra. Education was heavily stressed in their family by Austen's father. He taught their family how to read and write at home, and later sent the girls to boarding school to learn other subjects related to women. After boarding school, the family settled down in Chawton where Austen focused on her writing (“Jane Austen” 3). Jane Austen's writing was impacted by the early 19th century society and etiquette, that she experienced throughout her life.
