Biografía del autor

Jane Austen (1775-1817) nació en Hampshire, Reino Unido. Considerada hoy la primera gran novelista de la literatura inglesa, obtuvo cierto reconocimiento en vida, aunque no alcanzó el estatus canónico que posee actualmente hasta mucho después de su muerte. Llevó una vida tranquila, rodeada del cariño de su familia. La ironía sutil de su prosa y la profundidad de sus personajes han convertido su obra en un referente imprescindible de la literatura universal.
