Every year in Bath, England, there is a special festival. People dress up in period clothes and have concerts and balls. They are celebrating the lane Austen Festival.

Jane Austen is an English writer. Born in Steventon, England, 1775, Austen was mostly educated at home, where she teamed how to play the piano, draw and write creatively. She read a lot and later came to enjoy social events such as parties, dances and balls. She disliked the busy life of towns and preferred the country life, where she took to taking long walks

In 1801, Jane, her parents and sister moved to Bath. Four years later, her father passed away and the family soon became poor. Austen and her family moved several times until finally settling(安顿)into a small house in Chawton. It was in this house that she wrote most of her works.

In March of 1817, Austen got serious health problems and was sent to Winchester for a cure so she had to stop writing. She died in July of the same year, at the age of only 4l.

Austen was famous for her humorous words and clever ideas. Most of her novels are about women in I8`h century England. At that time, if a woman wanted to have a happy life, she had to marry a rich man. But Austen said that a woman should marry for love, riot for money or social status(地位).So her characters were often strong women.
