Composition year places a literary work in the year it was actually written, which can differ sharply from when it was published. Wikipedia notes Pride and Prejudice was "written when she was aged 20-21," roughly 1796, though it was not published until 1813. Browsing by composition year shows how long a finished work can wait before reaching readers.
