RE: Jane Austen did NOT write 'romance novels'! Her writing is deliberately unsentimental and realistic and she explored many controversial themes. She is a genius of satire, humour and thorough intellect. | By Leysa Flores

Muchas gracias! ☺️ Indeed, slavery was a controversial topic in Jane Austen’s lifetime. She lived from 1775 to 1817, and wrote Mansfield Park between 1812-1814. The Slave Trade Act was passed by the British Parliament on 25 March 1807, making the slave trade illegal throughout the British Empire.
