Guide: 5 enduring money lessons you can discover in Jane Austen’s novels

In life, the finest wisdom often comes from the most unexpected places.

So, you may be surprised to learn that Jane Austen – one of the most revered romance authors of all time and a paragon of women’s literature – has anything to teach you about the modern world of finance.

Born in Hampshire in 1775, one of eight children, nobody expected the unassuming Jane to become a novelist – or that her works would endure for centuries, let alone that her face would end up on the £10 note.

But like Austen’s wonderful works of fiction, some financial concepts stand the test of time, remaining relevant no matter how trends change and markets move.

Read this guide to discover what you could learn from Mansfield Park, Pride and Prejudice, and other novels from the celebrated author.
