Jane Austen - Magdalena Merbilháa - Red Cultural

Jane Austen is one of the most highly regarded English authors today. With thousands of fans, she is a true phenomenon in the 21st century. This isn't just a passing fad; she is simply brilliant. She is a female author from the early 19th century whose irony and wit still surprise us today. Many categorize her as a Romantic author, but the truth is that she is a genre unto herself. She is probably more realistic than the so-called Realists. She describes everyday life and the real problems of women and society in her time in a direct and engaging way. A feminist, perhaps. In an era when the situation of women was precarious in every sense, Jane Austen criticizes this situation and raises her voice. Her heroines are brave and determined, and so is she.
