Autorenporträt

Jane Austen (1775-1817) var enskur skáldsagnahöfundur þekktur fyrir skarpa gáfur sínar, skarpa innsýn í mannlegt eðli og tímalausa lýsingu á ást, samfélagi og stétt. Hún skrifaði sex stórar skáldsögur, þar á meðal Sense and Sensibility, Emma og Pride and Prejudice, sem hafa heillað lesendur í meira en tvær aldir. Verk hennar eru fræg fyrir gáfaðar athuganir á samfélagsgerð samtímans og flóknum kvenkyns söguhetjum þeirra. Skáldsögur Austen eru enn á meðal þeirra ástsælustu og mest lesnu á enskri tungu.
