Product Description

Product Description
This work provides a comprehensive historical and social examination of the period Jane Austen wrote in - a time when England was developing into a colonial power, while George III sank into madness and the Regency took hold. Elsewhere, the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars raged and the New World was finding its feet. Subjects covered include: the fashions, architecture, customs, traditions and pastimes of the era. Maggie Lane is the author of "Jane Austen and Food", "A Charming Place: Bath in the Life and Novels of Jane Austen", "Jane Austen's England", "Jane Austen's Family" and "The Jane Austen Quiz and Puzzle Book".

5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL BOOK ON AUSTEN AND HER TIMES..., 14 Oct 2004
By S. BARRATT "Currer Bell" (YORKSHIRE, ENGLAND) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Gorgeous and lavishly illustrated. Excellent information and beautifully put together.

Everything you could want to know about Austen, her life, her novels and general social life of the late 1700s early 1800s.

Includes the film versions, biographies, Austens letters and the towns and homes she lived in.

Highly recommended.
