Jane austen biography powerpoint for elementary school

Jane Austen was an English novelist, popular for her six major novels at the end of the 18th Century. Her novels serve as critiques to the British Landed Gentry, a social class that is mostly comprised of landowners.

Jane Austen’s novels feature plots that explore the dependence of women on marriage in order for them to be in favourable conditions in terms of social standing and economic or financial security. Her novels not only criticize a specific social class, but other types of novels, such as sentimental novels, which mostly rely on emotions.
