Here is a short artist description:
Jane Austen is a renowned English novelist, celebrated for her insightful and witty writings on the lives of the English landed gentry. Through her six novels, including Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Emma, she offers a poignant commentary on the social conventions of her time, exploring themes of love, marriage, and social standing.
Translation to English (UK) is not necessary as the text is already in English, but I can provide the same text with some minor adjustments to conform to UK English spelling and vocabulary:

Note: The only difference between US and UK English in this text would be the use of "renowned" (which is the same in both US and UK English), and possibly the spelling of some words like "commentary" (which is also the same in both US and UK English). However, if the text were to include words like "colour" (UK) vs "color" (US), or "centre" (UK) vs "center" (US), then the translation would be necessary.
