Jane Austen
Multi-million-selling author who wrote the "9th greatest novel of all time."
She ruffles her reader by nothing vehement, disturbs him by nothing profound. The passions are perfectly unknown to her …
—Charlotte Brontë
… her books madden me so that I can’t conceal my frenzy … Every time I read Pride and Prejudice I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone.
—Mark Twain
