Jane Austen (1775-1817) was one of the most significant novelists of nineteenth-century English literature. A member of the landed gentry, she lived primarily in quiet seclusion among a tight-knit circle of family and friends until her untimely death from Addison�s disease at the age of 41.
Although sales of her works were steady, she did not meet with great commercial or critical success in her lifetime. Academic interest surged in the twentieth century, and her works today enjoy continued popularity in robust book sales and in motion picture and television adaptations.
Notable works include Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1815). Northanger Abbey (1818) and Persuasion (1818) were published posthumously.
Ellen K. Gregory earned her Bachelor of Arts at the University of Arizona and her Master of Fine Arts at the University of Iowa�s Writers� Workshop. She has taught English classes on an adjunct basis at Brigham Young University and Utah State University.
A recipient of a QuickFunds grant from the Idaho Commission on the Arts, she has had work accepted by Segullah, The Wasatch Journal, Literary Mama, BYU Studies, The Ensign, and other publications.
She currently resides with her husband and five children in southeastern Idaho.
