Features: DVD
In six extraordinary works, she cast her ironic but ultimately sympathetic eye on the life of privilege in Georgian England. But her work was not appreciated until well after her lifetime.Jane Austen's books have been in print continuously for over two centuries. They have been made into movies sometimes several times in a single year. Her wit and wisdom remain undimmed, though the world she chronicled has long since disappeared. And her incredible artistic achievement is all the more impressive when one considers that she wrote her two greatest novels, Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, before she turned 21. From her brief life to her place in the literary canon, BIOGRAPHY draws on interviews with experts and Austen's own words to tell her unique tale.System Requirements:Running Time: 50 MinutesFormat: DVD MOVIE
