Jane Austen (1775–1817) was born in the rectory at Steventon, Hampshire, where her father George was its incumbent. George died in 1805, after the Austens had moved to Bath, and in 1809 Jane, her mother Cassandra, her sister Cassandra Elizabeth, and Martha Lloyd moved to Chawton, where Jane would stay until a short time before her death in Winchester in 1817. It was in Chawton that Jane either wrote or revised her novels, and from where she became known as a novelist four of her six novels were published in her lifetime – Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816), and the remaining completed two, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, were published posthumously in 1818.
