Biografía del autor

x{0026}lt;p Jane Austen (Steventon, 1775 - Winchester, 1817) es una de las figuras más destacadas de la narrativa inglesa. Aunque su nombre era conocido en algunos círculos aristocráticos, sus primeros títulos tuvieron que aparecer de forma anónima. Solo a partir de la publicación póstuma de x{0026}lt;i La abadía de Northangerx{0026}lt;/i y, precisamente, de x{0026}lt;i Persuasiónx{0026}lt;/i (en 1818), su hermano Henry reveló la identidad de la autora de x{0026}lt;i Sentido y sensibilidadx{0026}lt;/i , x{0026}lt;i Orgullo y prejuiciox{0026}lt;/i , x{0026}lt;i Emmax{0026}lt;/i o x{0026}lt;i Mansfield Parkx{0026}lt;/i . El éxito de su obra responde seguramente a lo que sir Walter Scott llamó el talento más prodigioso que se haya visto para describir los sentimientos y las relaciones sentimentales .x{0026}lt;/p
