Initially, all of her novels were published anonymously. Of her most popular works: Sense and Sensibility was published in 1811; Pride and Prejudice in 1813; Mansfield Park, 1814; and Emma in 1816. The novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion were published after her death. Also, other partial novels were published posthumously; as were her letters. In the past decade there has been a vital resurgence of interest in Austen and her novels, largely due to the movie adaptations and the productions of Masterpiece Theater, being shown on PBS. |
