Jane Austen

Jane Austen lived a quiet country life, never married, wrote only 6 books (Pride & Prejudice, Emma, Persuasion, Sense & Sensibility) and died young. Her legacy leaves a picture of Georgian and Regency England on the cusp of the Industrial revolution. Visit her rural birthplace in Hampshire, then Bath, then onward to her beloved Chawton home, and then to her final resting place in Winchester.
