As a girl, she wrote stories, including burlesques of popular romances. She lived with her family in Steventon until her father, a clergyman in the Church of England, retired in 1801. After his death, in 1805, she, her mother, and her sister did not have a settled home until 1809, when they moved to Chawton, Hampshire. There she was extraordinarily productive, revising three novels and writing three more from scratch. Published during her lifetime were \u003ci\u003eSense and Sensibility\u003c\/i\u003e (1811), \u003ci\u003ePride and Prejudice\u003c\/i\u003e (1813), \u003ci\u003eMansfield Park\u003c\/i\u003e (1814), and \u003ci\u003eEmma\u003c\/i\u003e (1815). Austen died on July 18, 1817, in Winchester, where she was receiving medical treatment, and was buried in that city's cathedral. Two more novels, \u003ci\u003eNorthanger Abbey\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePersuasion\u003c\/i\u003e, were published posthumously in 1817 with a biographical notice by her brother Henry Austen, the first formal announcement of her authorship. She also left two earlier compositions: a short epistolary novel, \u003ci\u003eLady Susan\u003c\/i\u003e, and an unfinished novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Watsons\u003c\/i\u003e. At the time of her death, she was working on a new novel, \u003ci\u003eSanditon\u003c\/i\u003e, a fragmentary draft of which survives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 8.3 x 5.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45303768350771,"sku":"9780143105428","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/2191\/6467\/files\/n6hxtVMmlr9780143105428.webp?v=1794185453","url":"https:\/\/thereadinghousebookcompany.com\/products\/pride-and-prejudice-penguin-classics-deluxe-edition-paperback","provider":"The Reading House Book Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
