Jane Austen Quote Earrings - "One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other."

These earrings are hand crafted with different quotes from Jane Austen set in glass.

Jane Austen (16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817) was an English novelist known primarily for her six major novels, which interpret, critique and comment upon the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Austen's plots often explore the dependence of women on marriage in the pursuit of favourable social standing and economic security. Her works critique the novels of sensibility of the second half of the 18th century and are part of the transition to 19th-century literary realism. Her use of biting irony, along with her realism, humour, and social commentary, have long earned her acclaim among critics, scholars, and popular audiences alike. With the publications of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1816), she achieved success as a published writer.

The settings are silver plated ovals and measure 18 x 25 mm.

This quote is "One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other."
