Genre groups authors by the kind of writing they became known for. Wikipedia notes Jane Austen's six novels "implicitly interpret, critique, and comment on the English landed gentry," work that placed her squarely within social and domestic fiction rather than adventure or verse. This dimension gathers authors who worked mainly in the same genre.
