So, Jane Austen was born 16^th December, 1775 at Steventon, Hampshere- a country The United Kingdom of Great Britain is made up of England, Scottland, Wales and Nouthern Ireland. Each of this areas are divided into smaller areas called countries. The land outside towns, where there are farms, trees, mountains and lakes, is called the countryside. This word often shortened to the country] in the South of England. Jane’s father was a clergyman clergymen or the vicars, work in Chritian Churches and they lead the religious ceremonies. Vicars are leaders of the Protestant Christian religioun. They live in houses called vicarages in the church at Steventon. Jane had six brothers- James, George, Edward, Henry and Charles- and one sister- Cassandra. Jane Austen’s father made sure that his chideren had a good education. Jane learnt French, Italian and music. She studied English literature and poetry.
In 1803, Mr. Austen and his family moved to Bath, a town in the west of England. Bath was popular and facionable in the nineteenth century. People went there to meet frieds and to drink the water from the warm springs that came out of the ground. They believed that the water was good for their health. In Bath, people played games of cards, and danced at balls in large buildings called The Assemble Rooms. They also listened to music and watched plays in the theatres. The visitors bought jewels and facionable clothes in the shops. They walked in the wide streets and fine parks [places in the towns where people can sit, walk and play games. There are usually trees and gardens of flowers in parks. Sometimes there are lakes. In the nine teen’th century, large houses in the country were often surrounded by parks. “Park” is also sametimes used as the name of a house or property. For example: Norland Park.].
In 1805, Jane Austen’s father died and the family moved to Southampton, in Hampshere. They lived there for only a few years. In 1810, the family moved again, to Chawton, in Hampshere. From that year, until her death in 1817, Jane was very busy. She wrote books, she visited her relatives [relatives are members of a family particuliarly those members who do not live together. A niece is the daughter of your brother or sister. A nephew is the son of your brother or sister. You are their aunt and uncle. An In-law is someone who you are related to by marriage. For example: Mr John Knightley is Emma Woodhouse’s brother-in-law. Mr Woodhouse is Mr John Knightley’s father-in –law. Mrs Campwell is Mr Dixon’s mother-in-law. Mr John Knightley is Mr Woodhouse’s son-in-law, etc. when a man who has a childeren marries again, his new wife becomes stepmother to his childeren. The man’s childeren become his wife’s stepchilderen.], and she travelled round England with friends. Jane’s brothers, Edward lived with Thomas and Catherine Knight. Mr. and Mrs. Knight had a large house – Godmersham Park – in the country of Kent. Jane and her sister often visited Edward at Godmersham Park. From her diaries and letters we can see that Jane was a very kind and intelligent woman.
Jane Austen never got married. Some people think that she fell in love in 1801, but the love affair did not end well. The young man did not have any moneyand they could not marry. Her lover died suddenly, a few years later.
In 1802, Harris Bigg-Witther asked Jane Austen to marry him. However, Jane and Harris were engaged for only one day. The following morning, Jane changed her mind [decide to do something different. Or to make a new plan. Jane first agreed to marry Mr Bigg-Witther, then she made a decision not to marry him. She changed her mind]. She decided not to marry Mr Harris Bigg-Witther.
In 1811, Jane Austen’s first book was published. Not many women writer’s were published at this time. Publishers did not like publishing books by momen. For this reason, many women writers used men’s names when wrote books. However, Jane Austen never used a men’s name. her books were published using her own name and her stories were extremely popular. Her books were:

• 
  Sense and Sensibility (1811)
  
• 
  Pride and Prejudice (1813)
  
• 
  Mansfield Park (1814)
  
• 
  Emma (1815)
  
• 
  Northanger Abbey (1818) (posthumous)
  
• 
  Persuasion (1818) (posthumous) and Sandition (unfinished).
  

Jane Austen’s stories were not about poor people. She wrote about people who had money and property – houses and land. These very rich and powerful people were the “Polite Society” of Britain. Few people from “Polite Society”worked to earn money. Men inherited [receive money or property from someone who has died. The money or property of that a person receives is their inheritance. An heir is the person who will receive money or property when another person dies] money and property from their fathers. The elder son useally received most of the money and property after his father’s death. If younger sons did not choose to join the army, or the navy, they became lawyer or clergymen.
People in the “Polite Society” spent a lot of time calling on each other – visiting each others’ houses. Each person who called at the house of a friend left a visiting card (a small card with your name printed on it), if the owner of the house was out.
People in “Polite Society” had dinner parties and dances in their homes. They played music and read books. They had conversations about art, music, poetry and politics. Men went out onto their land to hunt with dogs and guns. Women read poetry (books) and they painted pictures. They also walked in the gardens, or rode horses in the grounds of their large properties. In winter, men and women from “Polite Society” often left their country houses and stayed in London for a few months.
Young women hoped to meet a suitable (in the XIX century, parents believed that it was important for their children to marry well. If their children’s husband or wives came from rich and powerful families, these were suitable marriages. A man and a woman who both came from good families, both had a good education, both liked the same thing were suited to each other.) young man and get married. It was important for a girl to marry a man who had money and property. If a girl did not have any money of her own and she did not marry, her life was very much more difficult.
Good manners – the correct way that people behaved and spoke were very important. Well - educated people who had good manners spoke quietly and intelligently. They thought other peoples’ feelings and they made sure that they did not upset them. Men and women in “Polite Society” talked about each other in a formal way. They used the titles: Lord, Sir, Mr, Mrs or Miss in front of their last names. If they did not know the members of a family very well, people used Miss(+their last name) when they spoke to elder, unmarried daughters. And they used Miss (+ their first name) when they spoke to younger unmarried daughters. Married women would often be called by their husband’s name. For example: Mrs John Knightley. Men often used only their last names when they spoke about each other. For example: Knightley or Elton. Young women had to be introduced to young men whom they did not know. After that, they could talk to them. In polite society, women did not travel alone. There were no cars, or trains, or bicycles at this time. People travelled in carriages pulled by horses, or they rode horses, or they walked.
