In 15-minute film contributions from a German-language television series, Tilmann Spengler introduces the culture-loving viewer to the life and work of important writers and authors from all eras. One of the ladies he honors as a "classic of world literature" is the British author of "Pride and Prejudice" (to name her most famous work):

* JANE AUSTEN (1775 to 1817).

She herself was not buried here, but her mother and sister found their final resting place here.

The article (in German) can be found in the ARD media library under the following link => ardmediathek.de/video/klassiker-der-weltliteratur/jane-austen-stolz-und-vorurteil/ard-alpha/Y3JpZDovL2JyLmRlL3ZpZGVvL2NiOGJhYTI3LTkxYzMtNDRiNi05NjNlLTRlYzg2NDNmY2E5Ng
