They have been the basis of numerous adaptations for both the large and small screens, but these quizzes focus on the original books.

Jane Austen Trivia Questions

1. What was Jane Austen's first published book?

From Quiz
Jane Austen's Works

Answer: 'Sense and Sensibility'

'Sense and Sensibility' was Austen's first novel, published in 1811, follows the two eldest Dashwood sisters escapades in high society, and their relationships with the people around them. This novel was followed by 'Pride and Prejudice' in 1813.

2. Georgiana Darcy, the younger sister of Mr. Darcy of 'Pride and Prejudice' fame, had a fortune of £30,000. Which man, whom she had known since childhood, did she plan to elope with from Ramsgate?

From Quiz Jane Austen's Rich Young Women

Answer: George Wickham

Georgiana Darcy was a particularly shy and quiet 15-year-old girl when she went to live in Ramsgate and became a target for the fortune hunting Mr. Wickham. He tricked her into believing he was in love with her and talked her into agreeing to elope with him without the permission of her guardians - her brother, Mr. Darcy and her cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam. Fortunately, Mr. Darcy visited her shortly before they were due to leave and was able to rescue both her and her fortune from Mr. Wickham's clutches. Miss Darcy had known Wickham from childhood because he was the son of the steward of Pemberley (the Darcy's estate) and her father's godson. The late Mr. Darcy had wanted Wickham to become a clergyman and left him an inheritance dependent on him taking up that vocation. Since he wasn't really suited to the job (in both his own and the younger Darcy's opinion), he had received a cash alternative, but became bent on revenge against the Darcy family once the substantial sum of money had run out. Mr. Denny was Wickham's friend who encouraged him to come to Meryton to join the militia and William Goulding was the resident of a house near Meryton named Haye Park.

3. Jane Austen gave the first dialogue of 'Pride and Prejudice' to Mrs. Bennet, the mother of the novel's heroine Elizabeth Bennet. The name of which great estate completes her line: "My dear Mr. Bennet,...have you heard that _______ is let at last?"

From Quiz Jane Austen's Great Estates

Answer: Netherfield Park

Netherfield Park was the neighbouring estate to Longbourn, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet and their five daughters. Its new tenant was a Mr. Bingley, whose wealth and status made him an instant target for Mrs. Bennet as a potential husband for her eldest and most beautiful daughter, Jane. The grand house popped up in the storyline from time to time: Jane and Elizabeth Bennet both stayed there after Jane had fallen ill while visiting Mr. Bingley's sisters; Mr. Bingley hosted a ball there on the 26th of November (a date he was able to specifically recall many months later when he met Elizabeth in Derbyshire); and in the final chapter Austen informed her readers that Jane and Mr. Bingley "remained at Netherfield only a twelvemonth" after their marriage because neither of them could cope with living so close to Mrs. Bennet. The incorrect options are all real-life stately homes located in the county of Hertfordshire where 'Pride and Prejudice' is predominantly set. Hatfield House is the ancestral home of the Earls of Salisbury, Knebworth House is known for having hosted a series of outdoor music concerts and Brocket Hall was once home to the former British Prime Minister Lord Melbourne.

4. The hero and heroine of 'Pride and Prejudice', Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet, didn't exactly hit it off straight away. How did they first meet?

From Quiz Jane Austen's Introductions

Answer: At a dance at the Meryton assembly rooms

The love story of Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy of Pemberley, Derbyshire and Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourn, Hertfordshire began when they both attended a dance at the local assembly rooms in Meryton. Mr. Darcy was staying with his friend, Charles Bingley, who had recently let Netherfield Park - the neighbouring estate to Elizabeth's home. However, while Bingley was a cheery and outgoing character who quickly (and very obviously) fell in love with Elizabeth's sister, Jane, Darcy was haughty, proud and insulted Elizabeth by refusing to dance with her. He actually declared that she was "tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me"!

5. In 'Persuasion', when Sir Walter Elliot's debts necessitated that he move to Bath and let out Kellynch Hall, which military man took the lease and set up home there?

From Quiz Jane Austen's Military Men

Answer: Admiral Croft

Sir Walter Elliot was a vain and somewhat silly man, whose income was insufficient to keep pace with his profligacy and extravagant tastes. As a result he was forced to pack up and move to a much smaller house in Bath while Admiral Croft took over as 'lord of the manor' at Kellynch Hall. To add insult to injury, Admiral Croft was also the brother-in-law of Captain Wentworth - the man who Sir Walter Elliot had previously felt was of insufficient wealth or status to marry his least favourite daughter, Anne. Luckily, the fact that Admiral Croft and his wife decided to move to Kellynch gave Wentworth and Anne the chance to both get to know each other again and achieve their deserved happy ending. Admiral Lord Nelson was the famous British naval hero of the 1805 Battle of Trafalgar; Admiral Bligh was the William Bligh of 'Mutiny on the Bounty' fame; and two of Jane Austen's brothers (Charles and Francis) both achieved the rank of admiral during their naval careers.

6. Fanny Dashwood is mean-spirited and selfish, the exact opposite of one of her brothers. Which of the men below is her brother?

From Quiz Twisted Sisters in Jane Austen novels

Answer: Edward Ferrars

In "Sense and Sensibility", Fanny Ferrars is married to John Dashwood. She talks John Dashwood out of keeping his promise to his dying father to help his half-sisters, she makes the elder Mrs. Dashwood uncomfortable in her own home and she stands between Edward and Elinor when they fall in love.

7. What is Lady Susan's surname?

From Quiz Lady Susan

Answer: Vernon

Lady Susan was recently widowed.

8. What is the missing word in the opening line of "Pride and Prejudice"? "It is a truth universally ______________ that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."

From Quiz For Jane Austen Fans

Answer: acknowledged

The most famous of JA's opening lines.

9. Which Jane Austen book was the first one sold to a publisher?

From Quiz Jane Austen Major Works

Answer: Northanger Abbey

Although it was sold to a publisher in 1803, it was one of the last works to be published, in 1817, (posthumously with "Persuasion"). The first book to be published was "Sense and Sensibility" in 1811.

10. In "Pride and Prejudice", why does Mrs Bennet think that Lady Catherine has come to talk to Elizabeth?

From Quiz Jane Austen Novels

Answer: She came to congratulate them on the marriage of Lydia and Wickham

Lady Catherine really came to give her disapproval of Elizabeth marrying Mr Darcy.

11. This clergyman's demise comes about by eating three great institutional dinners in a week. Who was he?

From Quiz Clergymen in Jane Austen's Novels

Answer: Dr. Grant

14. In which novel is Miss Andrews frequently mentioned by one of Austen's anti-heroines?

16. In 'Pride and Prejudice', who owns the house where Mr Wickham first tells Elizabeth how cruelly he has been treated by Mr Darcy?

From Quiz Regency Rogues

Answer: Mrs Philips

Unfortunately for Lizzie, she believed every word Mr Wickham told her, which led to complications later on!

17. Jane Austen's last completed work was a poem written on her deathbed in Winchester . What was its subject?

From Quiz Jane Austen: Minor Works

Answer: A skit on showers ruining the Winchester races

Jane Austen's poems have been criticised as not being great, like her novels. This misses the point entirely. They are purely domestic entertainment, which is probably how her stories started out as well. The poems all concern members of the family or local situations like this one about the Winchester races, or are simply for amusement. As far as I'm aware she never wrote a "mock lament on the sorrows of illness", although it would have been entirely in character for her to have done so. It certainly speaks much for her fortitude that she managed to write such a lighthearted piece when she was in great pain and probably (for all she knew) did not have long to live.

18. What is the name of the main character in "Persuasion"?

From Quiz Jane Austen books

Answer: Anne Elliot

Anne Elliot is 27 and a spinster. She was engaged to Captain Wentworth when she was younger but was persuaded by her friend Lady Russell to break off the engagement because he was poor.

19. Name the youngest Dashwood sister ("Sense and Sensibility").

From Quiz Younger Siblings

Answer: Margaret & margaret
