Jane Austen’s Works
Jane Austen is known best for her six novels, which were published anonymously between 1811 and 1818. She also wrote stories, plays, poems, satires, and letters that she never intended to publish, and she began two novels that she never finished. After Austen was recognized as one of the world’s great novelists, all her writing found its way into print.
