On Jane Austen’s Views of Marriage in Sense and Sensibility Ⅰ. Introduction Jane Austen was the seventh of eight children and she was born in the village of Steventon in Hampshire in 1775. Her father was a country clergyman and a learned man as well who encouraged his daughter’s intellectual development and literary ambitions. Jane was educated at home and began to write at an early age. There was a little table in the family sitting room, on which she wrote her novels in the midst of busy family life. In 1782, Jane was sent to Southampton for a brief period of schooling. One year later, she went back to her hometown owing to her illness; then she spent one year at the Abbey School in her hometown. Such was the formal schooling that Jane had received. However, she read widely when she was free. In fact, her family spent much time in group-reading and in performing theatricals. It was in such environment that Jane Austen’s literary talent was being cultivated and developed. Jane Austen started writing at a very young age while she was busy doing housework. It was said that when a visitor entered, she would throw a sheet of paper or a piece of sewing over her work. By the age of sixteen, she had filled three notebooks with stories, plays. But she was modest enough to refuse to acknowledge that she was the author of her novels. In 1793, Jane Austen began to write Elinor and Marianne, a novel later reworked into Sense and Sensibility. Three years later, she wrote first masterpiece, which was an early version of her novel Pride and Prejudice. For this novel, her father praised it highly and wrote a little to a publisher in London, hoping it could de accepted, but he did not get any answer. However, this did not affect Jane Austen’s interest in writing. She continued her novels one after another. In1797, she wrote Susan, later it became Northanger Abbey; in 1811, she wrote Mansfield Park; she wrote Emma in 1814 and Persuasion in 1816. Jane remained single all her life. In
