A novel is a long story, usually a fictional book, which describes human experiences and interactions. It is in the form of prose(written or spoken language in its ordinary form), rather than poetry. The English-language novel, as we know it today, mainly began its development in the 1700s. Realism became important in literature at this point. It was in this time period and mode of literature that women writers truly came into their own. Two famous women authors who influenced the history of literature were Jane Austen and Virginia Woolf.
Jane Austen(1775-1817) was an English author.
Jane's father was a priest. They were middle class, thought not rich. In the polite society of that time, which they were part of, the lives of girls and women were very much ruled by the social rules and morals of the day. The writer Walter Scott said of her novels, "That young lady has a talent for describing the involvements of feelings and characters of ordinary life which is to me the most wonderful I have ever met with."
She was concerned with how women came to marry as it was not a simple matter of falling in love with someone in those days. The other problem was money; parents needed to provide women with some money to take into a marriage. Parents often tried to find their daughters the right partners. That's why Jane herself never married and died aged only.
A．Parents had to be of a similar social place.
B．This means that authors tried to have their novels reflect real life.
C．Jane saw the ambition(野心) of parents in many of these situations.
D．Jane's stories focused on middle to upper class society which she knew, and the place of women in it.
E．Among her most famous novels are Sense and Sensibility(1811), Pride and Prejudice(1813) and Emma(1815).
