They've spelt it right in the text but not in the title.

Spell checkers turn Austen to Austin (have marked enough undergrad Eng Lit essays in my time to know this far too well!). Wonder if that's what happened (no excuse, obviously!).

I mean in the title where they've said 'Jane Austin'. In the text it is correctly Jane Austen.
