Jane Austen's novels contain many influences from her own life. She, like her heroines, was quite independent. Music and dance were important in both Jane Austen's world and her novels. They allowed women to demonstrate their skills in public settings. This is shown in Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Persuasion, and Northanger Abbey.
Jane Austen came from a clerical family, and the church played roles in both Pride and Prejudice (Mr. Collins), and Mansfield Park (Edmund). Mansfield Park also demonstrates the Evangelical movement during her time. The Napoleonic Wars is background to some of Jane Austen's works, including Pride and Prejudice (the militia).
Many places in Jane Austen's novels are thought to be inspired by places she had visited or read/heard about. One example is Pemberley; believed to be influenced by her brother Edward's home.
Jane Austen's own beliefs influenced her writing. In her letters to her niece she demonstrated her belief in marrying for affection. Marrying for mercenary reasons was condemned by herself and her heroines (Elizabeth Bennet and Fanny Price).
