Feeling and sensitivity. Osten J.

works by Jane Osten became a classic of British literature. Her novels were repeatedly reprinted. What did the famous English writer who were born in southern England in a large family in the distant 1775 and only several times visited the capital? Father George was a priest in the tiny village of Steventon, whose number at that time was about 250 people. His attempts to give his children systematic education were unsuccessful: in one of the private schools, Jane and her sister Cassandra almost died of rash typhoid. Then George got down to business on his own. He taught his children to read, introducing them to the best examples of world classics and teaching them to discuss what he read. The house in which Jane spent most of his life was full of books. On this basis, the literary gift Jane blossomed. Her early works were a parody of love novels of that time. Jane sharply felt their falsehood and isolation from real life. The writer herself subtly and insightfully understand the movements of the human soul. This was the main secret of her success. Jane perfectly described the love experiences of her heroes and the conventions of life in which they act. Thin English humor gave it to the texts a special charm. All these features are inherent in her novel “Sensitivity”, which was first printed in 1811. The plot of the novel is built around the love stories of two sisters: reasonable and restrained Elinor and the romantic impulsive Marianne. The hand of O6 passes through a variety of life tests, leaning on each other and on their family. Unlike her heroines, the personal life of the writer herself did not work out. Literary glory came to her already posthumously.

He began to illustrate books, creatively developing the manner of Hugh Thomson, who is one of the best British masters of book illustrations of the second half of the 19th century. Charles Brock achieved great success in this field: in addition to Osten’s novels, he performed drawings for the works of Swift, Tekkestea and the Elliot. Henry Matthew Brock was five years younger than Charles. He received an art education at the Cambridge School of Arts, then he also began to illustrate and became a member of the Royal Institute of Arms-Artists.
