A profile of my favorite writer



My favorite writer is Jane Austen. She was born on 16th December 1775 in Stevenson. Her father, the Reverend George Austen, was rector of Stevenson. Where she spent her first twenty-five years, along with her were six brothers (two of them later became naval officers in the Napoleonic wars) and her adored sister, Cassandra.

In 1796, her first novel, Eli nor and Marianne. Then one year later, her first novel Impressions, was published. In 1801, her family moved to Bath. She began to work on The Watson, a novel that remained unfinished. In the next few years, she published Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816). At the same time, she had lots of awards.

She died on July 18th, 1817. I like her novels very much. So I think she is my favorite writer.
