Pride and Prejudice is an 1813 novel of manners written by Jane Austen. Though it is mostly called a romantic novel, it is also a satire. The novel follows the character development of Elizabeth Bennet, the dynamic protagonist of the book who learns about the repercussions of hasty judgments and comes to appreciate the difference between superficial goodness and actual goodness.

Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are two sisters with opposite characters. Elinor, the eldest, is 19 and represents the part of "reason" indicated by the title. Marianne is 17 years old and instead represents the "feeling". Elinor and Marianne are the daughters of Mr. Dashwoods second marriage. Besides them there is also a younger sister, Margaret, and their older brother, John, who was born from his first marriage. When the father dies, the family estate passes, as usual, to the first son, John, so the Dashwood women find themselves in a very precarious financial situation.

The story follows the main character Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of early 19th-century England. Mansfield Park is Jane Austens 1814 novel focusing on Fanny Price, the daughter of a poor Portsmouth family, who is taken to live with her aunt and uncle Bertrams family on their estate at the age of ten. Surrounded by her wealthy and privileged cousins, and continually reminded of her lower status by her bullying Aunt Norris, Fanny grows up timid and shy, but with a strong sense of ethics, partly instilled by her kindly cousin Edmund. Fannys gratitude and friendship for Edmund gradually grow into love, but the introduction of Mary and Henry Crawford, a captivating sister and brother, into the neighborhood of Mansfield Park, confuses and complicates the affections of the Bertram household. Emma is a novel about youthful hubris and the perils of misconstrued romance. The novel was first published in 1815. As in her other novels, Austen explores the concerns and difficulties of genteel women living in Georgian-Regency England; she also creates a lively comedy of manners among her characters. Jane Austen (1775 1817) was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature. Her realism and biting social commentary have gained her historical importance among scholars and critics.

La vida de la joven Catherine Morland -miembro de la numerosa familia de un modesto clérigo rural- discurre apaciblemente en la campiña inglesa, donde se entrega con pasión a su distracción favorita: leer novelas de genero gotico, llenas de pasadizos ocultos, mazmorras y misterios. Una invitacion en la vida real, sin embargo, la lleva a la ciudad de Bath, donde ella y su hermano James estableceran relaciones con los Thorpe, ambiciosos y manipuladores, y los Tinley, vastagos de una distinguida familia cuya hacienda, que ostenta el pintoresco nombre de abadia de Northanger, despierta en Catherine las mas escalofriantes y deliciosas expectativas.

Yet before her victory is complete, she must first contend with the untimely reappearance of a former lover.
