Jane Austen's novels are highly prized not only for their light irony, humor, and depiction of contemporary English country life, but also for their underlying social commentary. She wrote six major novels including Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Emma, while her other writings include plays, verses, short novels, and a virtual cornucopia of literary expressions.
