Summary
A whimsical, gorgeously illustrated guide to Jane Austen's England
Description
Jane Was Here is a whimsical, illustrated guide to Jane Austen's England – from the settings in her novels and the scenes in the wildly popular television and film adaptations, to her homes and other important locations throughout her own life.
Discover the stately homes of Basildon Park and Ham House and the lush landscapes of Stourhead and Stanage Edge. Tread in Jane's footsteps as you explore her school in the old gatehouse of the ruined Reading Abbey; her perfectly-preserved home in her Chawton cottage, where she spent the last eight years of her life; or her final resting place in Winchester Cathedral.
Whether you want to embark on a real Austenian pilgrimage of your own, or experience the journey from the comfort of your own living room, Jane Was Here will take you – with a tone as wry as Jane herself's – on an enchanting adventure through the ups and downs of the world of Jane Austen. Publishing in time for the 250th anniversary of Austen's birth, this book is the perfect companion for any Austenophile looking for a novel way to celebrate.
