Description
"I shall be very glad to see you at home again, and then...who will be so happy as we?"--Jane Austen
From her youth in a country rectory in Steventon, a small village in Hampshire, England--where she wrote her first stories for her friends, Volume the First, Volume the Second, and Volume the Third--to the fashionable spa town of Bath, to the seaport of Southampton, to her final years in her last settled home at peaceful Chawton Cottage, where she penned her most famous novel, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's life was hardly that of a shut in. A regular visitor to London, to the seashore for holidays, and to the estates of friends and relatives, Jane carried her own notion of home with her wherever she went and drew inspiration for her brilliantly witty novels from every new experience. She wrote most everywhere she traveled, accompanied by her portable writing desk.
With gorgeous photography and illustrations, At Home with Jane Austen explores Austen's world, her physical surroundings, and the journeys the popular author took during her lifetime. Author Kim Wilson ties Austen's novels to places where she lived, visited, and even attended school, ending with her final months in temporary lodgings in Winchester, England. Jane Austen's enduring legacy is the final chapter of this beautiful and eye-opening book.Spécifications
