In 1801 Jane moved with her sister and parents to Bath In 1802 she accepted a marriage proposal but the following day, without an explanation, she changed her mind.

Her father George Austen died in 1805 and in 1807 she moved to Southampton, a flourishing port and town with a population of over 8,000.

About 1795 she wrote her first novel and in 1811 "Sense and Sensibility", was published. This was followed by the "Pride and Prejudice" (1813), "Mansfield Park" (1814) and "Emma" (1816). These four novels were published anonymously. She died in 1817, after several months of painful illness. Posthumously, her brother published 2 more novels, “Northanger Abbey” and "Persuasion" (1818). While living, her books didn’t have any recognition. Fifty years after her death, one of her nephews published her biography revealing the identity of the author and making her novels widely known. The following decades her books had great success, making Austen one of the best selling novelists. JANE AUSTEN, Pride and Prejudice
