 Jane had absolutely nothing to do with the literary life of London.But she gradually became
aquainted the life of England and her writings were based on her experiences in her own village.The inspiration for all her novels came from the observations she made within her own family as well. 

 Jane Austen never married,but when she was older she spent most of her time with the families of her nephews and nieces.Jane completed three novels between the years 1795 and 1798. But her first novel Sense and Sensibility appeared thirteen years later in 1811. This became an instant success.
