However, people all over the world remember her. Why? It is because Jane Austen is the author of some of the best-loved novels in
133、 the English language. These novels include Emma, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion. Jane completed her last novel Persuasion in 1816, but _34_ (not publish) until after her death. Persuasion is partly based on Janes naval brother. Anne, the daughter of Sir Walter Elliot, fal

Jane Austen once compared her writing to_37_ (paint) on a little bit of ivory, two inches square. Readers of Persuasion will see that _38_ her skill of delicate
136、, ironic observations on social custom, love and marriage nor her ability_39_ (apply) a sharp focus to English manners and morals has abandoned her in her finished work.
