Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sanditon (1817) is an unfinished novel by the English writer Jane Austen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sanditon is a British historical drama television series adapted by Andrew Davies from an unfinished manuscript by Jane Austen and starring Rose Williams, Theo James, and Ben Lloyd-Hughes. Set during the Regency era, the plot follows a young and naive heroine as she navigates the new seaside resort of Sanditon.

Detailed explanation-3: -Two hundred years after its author’s death, “Sanditon” remains a robust, unsparing portrait of human foolishness. On March 18, 1817, Jane Austen stopped writing a book. We know the date because she wrote it at the end of the manuscript, in her slanting hand.

Detailed explanation-4: -The latter part of the manuscript was written in pencil because Austen became too weak to hold a pen, and on 18 March her illness forced her to abandon the novel altogether. She had completed eleven chapters and nine pages of a twelfth. The author died four months later, at the age of 41.

Detailed explanation-5: -“Sanditon, ” which was filmed here last June and premiered in Britain in August, is based on Austen’s final, unfinished work, a book relatively unknown even to fans of her six much-filmed completed novels.
