Jane Austen also has the distinction of being one of the few classic authors beloved by both the academy (her novels are a popular choice for UsefulNotes/SchoolStudyMedia) and popular culture, thanks to the devoted Austen fan community who call themselves "Janeites." Her novels are also frequently adapted into films, especially ''Literature/PrideAndPrejudice'' and ''Literature/{{Emma}}'' (which was also the inspiration for ''Film/{{Clueless}}'').

Unfortunately, little of her personal correspondence survives (of the 3,000 letter she wrote, about 161 still exist). Her sister Cassandra burned most of it and redacted segments of what she didn't burn, evidently out of concern that Jane's privately-expressed opinions of certain family and friends would cause a great deal of posthumous drama. The popularity of her novels in the following decades resulted in further redactions by her relatives, who wanted to present a public image of the good and proper maiden aunt instead of whatever messier and more complicated details might be expected of any person.

* Creator/RudyardKipling wrote a short story called "The Janeites," which may have originated the term, about a group of British soldiers who find refuge from the horrors of UsefulNotes/WorldWarI by immersing themselves in Jane Austen's novels.

* Oh, and she also apparently wrote the "novel" ''Mafia!'' which was finally made into a movie in 1998.[[note]]''Mafia!'' is a spoof of gangster films, but mostly of ''Film/TheGodfather'' directed by Jim Abrahams of [[Creator/ZuckerAbrahamsAndZucker ZAZ]] fame who also directed ''Film/{{Airplane}}'' and ''Film/HotShots''. This is referring to the movie being jokingly marketed as '''''Jane Austen's''''' ''Mafia!''.[[/note]]
