Episode One: First Impressions

No one who had ever seen Jane Austen in her infancy would have supposed her to become one of the most important novelists in the English language. Not even Jane Austen herself.

But who was Jane Austen? The real Jane Austen. The historical Jane Austen. Who was the woman who launched a thousand movie adaptations? What do we know about the inventor of Mr. Darcy and the progenitor of the enemies-to-lovers genre? Not much.
