Emma: Set in the fictitious village of Highbury, Jane Austen's Emma is the story of a clever, albeit spoilt, woman — Emma Woodhouse, who lives with her father. Emma is not an instantly likable girl; at first glance, she seems rather selfish and arrogant. Pride and Prejudice: One of Jane Austen's most iconic works, Pride and Prejudice chronicles the lives of the Bennet sisters in Regency England - Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Catherine and Lydia. Persuasion: Jane Austen's final finished novel, Persuasion tells the story of two people — Anne Elliot and Navy Captain Frederick Wentworth — who were once betrothed and in love but parted ways under unfortunate circumstances. Sanditon and Other Tales: Sanditon was written in the last months of Austen's life and was left unfinished at the time of her death in 1817. Set in a seaside town, it is an amusing tale of hypochondriacs, mixed in with family drama and a whiff of romance. Northanger Abbey: Published posthumously Northanger Abbey is, in fact, Jane Austen's first novel. The shortest of her works, it is also the wittiest a light-hearted satire of Gothic novels, which were quite the rage at the time. Sense and Sensibility: Sense and Sensibility is the Story of two sisters - Elinore and Marianne. Each sister embodies a unique set of traits: Elinore is sense, discrete and of sound judgement; while Marianne is sensibility, emotional and impulsive. Mansfield Park: At the age of ten, Frances Banny Price is sent to live with her uncle and suncan Northamptonshire where she is treated distantly by everyone but her cousin Edmund.
