Many people know that Jane Austen was one of the greatest literary voices in history. What, perhaps, they don’t know is that she was one of eight children of a clergyman; that all of her novels were originally published anonymously; and that she once accepted a marriage proposal, but changed her mind the following day. Biographic: Austen presents 50 irresistible facts and figures converted into infographics to reveal the author behind the words.
