JANE Austen's novels offer as much social commentary now as they did in the 1810s.
The writer focused on the need of a woman in those times to marry to ensure economic security and social standing.
Anybody who has ever been single and received a wedding invitation will feel an affinity with her humorous takedown of the pursuit of coupledom to get by in society.
