Her most highly praised novel during her lifetime was Pride and Prejudice, her second published novel.

From 1811 to 1816, with the publication of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1815), she achieved success as a published author. Austen wrote two additional novels (Northanger Abbey and Persuasion)., both published posthumously in 1818). There is an unfinished novel started before her death, eventually titled Sanditon. Jane was an accomplished pianist who practiced everyday. She performed songs, dances and sonatas for her family.
