Some of Jane Austen's works were written in the 18th century. She was born in 1775 died in 1817

Ok.

Of course Jane Austen or George Eliot (aka Mary Ann Evans) or the Brontes— their work has persisted because it’s so good!

I recently reread Little Women and while I love the characters, plot points, etc, I realized that I actually disliked the writing style/tone a lot. It is VERY pedantic. I realized I liked adaptations perhaps more than the original.

If you are near Winchester in the UK, you can visit Jane Austen's grave at the cathedral. It's an amazing building worth a long visit.
