Jane Austen was a successful author in the 1800s in spite of the many obstacles set by publishing companies at the time. Because married women didn’t traditionally have a career, Austen’s name never appeared on her own books during her lifetime. Her first published novel was billed “By a Lady”. After its success, all following books were credited as “By the author of Sense and Sensibility“.
Featuring the titles of seven of the author’s successful novels, this design celebrates Jane Austen’s determination, creativity, and good humor. Lettering by Elza Kinde.
