		Jane Austen was born in the Hampshire village of Steventon, where her father, the Reverend George Austen, was rector.
		It was this world--of the minor landed gentry and the country clergy, in the village, the neighbourhood, and the country town, with occasional visits to Bath and to London--that she was to use in the settings, characters, and subject matter of her novels.
		This portrait of a woman bent on the exercise of her own powerful mind and personality to the point of social self-destruction is, in effect, a study of frustration and of woman's fate in a society that has no use for woman's stronger, more "masculine," talents.
