If I remember correctly she wrote it when she was sixteen, and I think it was a school project. Have you ever read the History of England that Jane Austen wrote?

It was her first pubished novel (i was wrong there). now i'll shut my big mouth. looks great! okay, here it is: she started writing Sense and Sensibility under the working title Elinor and Marianne at age 19, but it wasn’t published until she was 36.

The idea was to write a kind of “exposé” on the teenage accomplishments of these famous figures.

With that in mind, the TRUTH in the articles is the accomplishments of the subjects, and especially the timing of those accomplishments, NOT the press coverage itself. For example, in the Jane Austen ad, the truth in the article is that Jane Austen did complete the original version of “Sense & Sensibility” before she turned 20, and did start working on her first novel at age 13. The biographical material is also accurate. However, the coverage itself (the article and the accolades) are fictional since her works were not published or applauded until many years later.

Hope that makes sense!
