Jane Austen (16 December 1775 ndash 18 July 1817) was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction set among the landed gentry earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature In 1783 according to family tradition Jane and Cassandra were sent to Oxford to be educated by Mrs Ann Cawley and they moved with her to Southampton later in the year

Austen acquired the remainder of her education by reading books guided by her father and her brothers James and Henry From when she was seven until she was thirteen the family and close friends staged a series of plays including Richard Sheridans The Rivals (1775) and David Garricks Bon Ton While the details are unknown Austen would certainly have joined in these activities as a spectator at first and as a participant when she was older
