Known worldwide for her novels discussing, interpreting, and at times denouncing the British landed gentry of the late eighteenth century including Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, Austen's depiction of the reality and humanity behind the screen of the upper-class's gentility and realistic portrayal of interpersonal relationships set against that backdrop has made her one of the most popular, recognizable, and critically acclaimed authors in the history of literature.

The Jane Austen features a wax stamp / drawstring-inspired clip in reference to Austen's lifelong practice of letter-writing - a ubiquitous practice during her lifetime.  The barrel echoes a Greek doric column evoking the neoclassical architectural elements so popular among those of means during this period, realized in "regency coat black" along with the cap to complete the transportation to an age of gentility and intrigue.  The 18k gold nib is engraved with Austen's silhouette, completing a proper writing instrument for any lover of the written word.
