Though men and marriage play integral roles in Austen’s books, her heroines can always hold their own. In fact, most of her stories have become classic romance novels that have served as the source material for dozens of television and film adaptations, with the most recent being the 2020 remake of Emma. And though she only completed seven novels in her lifetime, they’ve all remained with us years after we’ve turned the final page. ![]() ![]() ![]() A pioneer of her time, her wit and comic outlook on romance still resonate today.
