I. GOMPRET,ISIN DE UN TEXTOJane Austen was born on 16th December 1775 atsteventon rg{9ry After a few months at home, her motherplaced her with Elizabeth Littlewood, a woman living ry1$r. Elizabeth iuisO and raised Austen for a year or eighteen

months. ln 1783, according to family tradition, Jane and her sister Cassandra went to Oxford to be educated by Mrs.Ann Cawley and they moved with her to Southampton later in the year. Both girls caught phus and Jane nearly died.Austen was subsequently educated at home, until leaving for boarding schoolwith her sister Cassandra early in 1785.The school curriculum probably included some French, spelling, needlework, dancing and music and, perhaps, drama.By December 1786, Jane and Cassandra had returned home because the Austens could not afford to send both oftheir daughters to school. After returning from school in 1786, Austen "never again lived anywhere beyond the bounds

; of her immediate family environment", stated one of her biographer.Austen acquired the rest of her education by reading books, guided by her father, George, and her brothersJames and Henry. George Austen apparently gave hs daughters unfettered access to his large and varied library, wastolerant of Austen's experiments in writing, and provided both sisters with expensive paper and other materials for theirwriting and drawing. According to Park Honan, a biographer of Jane Austen, life in the Austen home was lived in "an

open, amused, easy intellectual atmosphere".Early in 1816, Jane Austen began to feel unwell. She ignored her illness at first and continued to work and toparticipate in the usual round of family activities. By the middle of that year, her decline was obvious to Austen and toher family, and Austen's physical condition began a long, slow, and irregular deterioration culminating in her death thefollowing year.After Austen's death, Cassandra and Henry Austen arranged with Murray for the publication of Persuasion andNorthanger Abbey as a set in December 1817. Henry Austen contributed a Biographcal Note which for the first timeidentified his sister as the author of the novels.
