Austenâs father first submitted Pride and Prejudice to a publisher in 1797, under the title First Impressions, but it was rejected probably for the sole reason that it had been written by a woman. Even when Pride and Prejudice was finally published in 1813, Austenâs name did not appear as the author of the book, and in fact, Austen was never given credit for being the author of any of her works while she was alive. The title page of Pride and Prejudice, when published, read âby the author of Sense and Sensibility.â Regardless, Jane Austen is one of the most widely read authors of English literature and there is no doubt in my mind as to why this is true.
