This gave her enough time to "slip her manuscript sheets under the blotting book before anyone came in- (Laski 74).
It seems to me Jane also had an interest in relationships and love even though her love life was a strange and sad one. This may be why we find some evidence of her own life in some of her characters. For instance it had been rumored that she once accepted marriage but later changed her mind, causing friction between the two families. It was believed to have inspired the "disastrous end to Marianne and Willoughby's relationship- (Mural 1). Another motivation for her writing comes from her favorite writer, whom she often quotes in her novels, Dr. Samuel Johnson, a great classicism and reason eighteenth century model (Lauber 6).
In the 1790's Jane had already composed 3 early versions of her later novels. She completed Emma in 14 months, which shows us just how dedicated and persistent Jane was to her works. In 1805 Jane's father died and she relied on relatives to look after her. But in 1811 she rose up to receive acclaim for her several of her novels including Emma which was dedicated to George IV, on of her biggest admirers. The public saw much of her dedication, later on, when her novels became well known, after her death (Lauber 3).
In her lifetime, Jane wrote 6 major novels including Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Emma. Her writings were not limited to novels; she wrote plays, versus, short novels and a basic cornucopia or literary expressions. Some her earliest writing spread from 1787 to 1793 (Mural 1).
An accomplished writer from the Austen family was not suprizing but was definitely and accomplishment for Jane. She will always be known as one of the best writers of English literature and will forever be known as the author of Pride and Prejudice, the famous and most popular of her novels.
