CELEBRATING THE BIRTH OF JANE AUSTEN


Jane Austen was born on 16 December 1775, the seventh of eight children of a clergyman in a country village in Hampshire, England.  Read here.

Some beautiful articles about our beloved novelist can be read  here and here.

"We read Jane Austen because she seems to know us better than we know ourselves, and she seems to know us so intimately for the simple reason that she helped determine who we are both as readers and as human beings."          Harold Bloom
