Jane Austen's background is very like that of many of the people in her books.
Her family was perhaps most like that of Catherine Morland in Northanger Abbey. Like Catherine, Jane Austen was the daughter of a country clergyman with a large family.
Like Fanny Price in Mansfield Park, Jane Austen had a number of family members who went into the navy.
Like Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen was once proposed to by a very wealthy man, and Jane Austen's man might even have been wealthier than Darcy, though Jane broke off the engagement in less than a day's time.
Jane Austen was related to lesser nobility, a baronet, and countess, just as Anne Elliot was in Persuasion.
And like the Dashwood sisters in Sense and Sensibility, she had to live with her mother on an income of less that 500 pounds per year.
Unlike Emma, she was never wealthy, but the Miss Bates in Emma was like Jane Austen in that she never married.
