Jane Austen died much too young, i think that Jane Austen early death seems such a waste that admirers of the novels can't help but try to explain it ; obviously, for some people, the more dramatic the explanation the better.

Jane Austen was writing letters, in Jane Austen usual quite tiny handwriting, up to May 1817, two months before Jane Austen death. ... For this reason it seems unlikely that Jane Austen was as close to blind as the optometrist quoted on the British Library blog site suggests.
