overview
Marking 250 years since her birth, Jane Austen remains a literary phenomenon, despite having written only six major works.
Her life and legacy were profoundly shaped by the environments and relationships that surrounded her – from the elegant circles of Bath, where social observation sharpened her wit, to the coastal scenes of Portsmouth and Lyme Regis, which later appeared in her novels. Austen eventually settled in the quiet Hampshire village of Chawton, living with her mother and sister Cassandra, only steps away from Chawton House – the grand estate of her brother Edward and a reflection of the family ties and class distinctions that echo through her fiction.
Join Anne Harbers for a richly illustrated journey through the life, legacy and landscapes of Jane Austen – offering fresh insight into the woman behind such timeless novels.
