Jane Austen wrote six novels of manners in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Each novel is distinguished by an interesting plot, truthful characterization, and natural dialogue. By a skilful combination of these elements she gave her writings a dramatic quality which tempts a reader to consider them as promising material for adaptation to the theatre. In each story a definite pattern may be pointed out in the development of the action. The pattern followed is that of a comedy which follows a natural order of beginning, middle, and end.
