Last 2025 marked the 250th anniversary of the birth of Jane Austen, one of the most loved voices in English literature. Two and a half centuries later, her novels continue to delight readers with sharp wit, memorable characters, and clear, elegant language—perfect for language learners as well as literature fans.

In Britain, the event was celebrated throughout the year with brand new exhibitions, special events, collaborations and more. To celebrate at our school, we invite you to explore our library’s Jane Austen collection. You can fall in love with Elizabeth Bennet again in Pride and Prejudice, laugh at youthful mistakes in Northanger Abbey, and enjoy the clever observations of society in Emma. For readers who want a deeper, more serious story, Mansfield Park offers rich themes and complex relationships.

Whether you are studying English or simply love a good story, Jane Austen is always worth rediscovering.
