"Good writing doesn't make you look smart; it makes readers feel seen. You can't win people over with intellect. You do it by describing something they've felt their whole life but never had the words for. "

[Westminster Abbey @wabbey]

Today we are celebrating the 250th anniversary of the birth of Jane Austen, one of the best-loved authors in the English-speaking world.

Famous for works such as Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Sense and Sensibility and more, some of Austen’s works were originally published anonymously. Her works are characterised by social commentary, irony with strong female characters showing that the inner thoughts and feelings of her characters - rather than action - was suitable material for a novel.

A small tablet was unveiled to her memory in Poets' Corner, Westminster Abbey, on 17th December 1967. This was given by The Jane Austen Society.
