No awards whatsoever! What awards did you expect for a woman living at the turn of the 19th century??! That was a time when it was not really "proper" for women to write novels, so many women writers used pen-names. By "accomplishments" her contemporaries understood something quite different: the mastery of diction, drawing, piano playing, dancing, a fine posture, proper manners, the ability to pour tea (milk first!), embroidery, plus a little French, a little Geography and History. She is an universal success NOW, but her life could not be more different from what you might imagine!

Answer

I think I would have to disagree, if only slightly, with the above answer. Jane Austen was invited to dedicate Emma to the Prince of Wales, which was an important recognition, tantamount to an award. Of course, it is recorded that she hated the Prince of Wales, so it might have been a recognition she would have preferred not to have - and the invitation might have been an offer she could not refuse. I am sure her publisher liked it, though I doubt he was induced to increase her royalties.
