English literature
Jane Austen's works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century realism. Her plots, in novels such as "Pride and Prejudice" (1813), "Emma" (1815), though fundamentally comic, highlight the dependence of women on marriage to secure social standing and economic security.
