Jane Austen received a great deal more education than most women of her time. She began writing at the age of fourteen, and became known for her mastery of literary form and irony. For the most part, she lived an uneventful life, never marrying and moving only once at the end of her life. Her novels were published anonymously, and her first novel, "Sense and Sensibility," was published only six years before her death.
