'''Jane Austen''' (16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817) was an English writer of popular [[genre fiction]], with a principal focus on works about zombies. It has been said that "with a little more talent and application, she could have been the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephenie_Meyer Stephenie Meyer] of her day."{{citation needed}} It has also been successfully argued that her work was a significant influence on other zombie writers such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Shelley Mary Shelley] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mrs_Gaskell Mrs Gaskell].

Her principal claim to fame, however, is her relationship with the celebrated alien hunter [[George Wickham]], resulting in the notorious work known as ''[[Pride and Prejudice]]''. The resulting controversy all but destroyed her career, although she did write several more novels, all of which were received with general indifference from the book-buying public. Several more books appeared under her name posthumously, but most Austenologists regard these as little more than contemptible forgeries. ('''[[Jane Austen|more...]]''')
