Jane Austen, an
enduring and much-loved English author, wrote novels which reflected
universal and timeless truths about humanity. She wrote about the times
and people she knew without using popular plot devices such as
kidnappings and class struggles used by other authors of the period.
Her light irony and humor earned her a devoted and consistent
following. To this day, readers appreciate the way she captured the
tranquility of a more leisurely era, combining cleverness and morality
with poignant depictions of English country living. She died and was
buried in Winchester Cathedral in 1818 with the inscription: "She
opened her mouth with wisdom and in her tongue is the law of kindness."
