Jane Austen, one of England’s most celebrated novelists, is a person's daughter who grew up in calm rural Hampshire.
When the name Jane Auten is mentioned, her fans immediately begin ranking her works and debating which one is the finest. It’s a reasonable instinct: there are just six finished Austen books, so you can get comprehensive quickly, debating ranks is always entertaining. Check out these famous books of Jane Austen to rank them in order of utter brilliance.
Sense and sensibility
Austen's first work, Sense and Sensibility, was published under the simple pen name A Lady. The plot of the novel follows the traditional parameters of a comedy of Manners, depicting the lives of two sisters who, after the death of their father, are abandoned from every aspect like money and the luxurious life where they have grown up with. It is unclear whether Austen intended for sense or sensibility to triumph throughout the novel, but the personal conflicts that Marianne and Elinor face illustrate the defects and benefits of being too closed or open hearted.
Persuasion
Persuasion, Austen's final completed book, was released after her earth and named for her brother Henry. Austen frequently expressed significant concerns about how society takes on persuasion and pressure on women, that too who are young. Persuasion is also Jane Austen's most gloomy, lyrical, and probably romantic novel, which may explain why it's such a beautiful book. If Pride and Prejudice is a bubbling brook, Persuasion is a tranquil pool with deep, motionless waters.
Mansfield Park
This is Austen's third and possibly most contentious work which is quite becoming debatable due to its controversial topic. Fanny Price, the protagonist is snatched from her family's poverty to grow up to become a companion to her aristocratic relatives at Mansfield Park. Mansfield Park was often considered Austen's best novel, yet it's a strangely dark and didactic book in which the characters endowed with Austen's sparkling charm all turn out to be wicked or amoral.
Pride and Prejudice
This one is simple as everyone adores Pride and Prejudice because it is such a lovable book, and it is nearly impossible to fall in love with the clever and obstinate Elizabeth Bennet the moment you meet her. From its iconic first phase to its end, Pride and Prejudice sparkles and bubbles, and it dares its readers not to be enchanted.
So, now it has become easy for you to choose and dive into Jane Austen’s most famous novels of all time.
