Although she was relatively unknown and unappreciated in her time, Jane Austen has since rightfully taken her place as a beloved author. As we survey her life and works, we'll answer the following questions:

  1. What did Sir Walter Scott find so compelling about Austen's writings? 
  2. Why are Austen's books—and, in particular, their lack of grand adventure—so important to the development of Western literature? 
  3. What did Austen contribute in her novels to the development of the romantic relationship?
