Jane Austen is loved as a guide .She was an ambitious and moralist.

About the author:

She wanted through novels to make people less selfish and more reasonable. She was
born in 1775 and died in 1817. She grew up in a small village in Hampshire.She has
never married. Some of the main things she wants to teach you is:Let your lover educate
you, we shouldn’t stop judging people; but we have to judge more carefully. The
satisfaction we feel when we read Austen Jane is really because she wants the world in a
certain way, and we find that immensely appealing. That is the reason why she is such a
lover writer.
