Review:
Jane Austen's England is not a guidebook; instead, Maggie Lane explores Austen's encounters with Britain's countryside and towns, from her home in north Hampshire to Oxford to Portsmouth. Lane records Austen's journeys and stays--quoting extensively from her letters and novels--but her book is also an activist manifesto. Writing of how much Britain has changed since the age of Austen, she urges, "We must be more vigilant over what remains." Through poems, prints, and paintings of the period, Lane evokes England's natural and man-made beauties--though always in service of a larger aim--setting the stage for Austen's life and art.
From the Publisher:
Maggie Lane's guide to the real scenes that are the background to the novels is both illuminating and attractive. provides an entertaining backdrop to her comedies and dramas.
Maggie Lane has followed Jane Austen's own travels in an age when cultured people were learning to appreciate the natural world. the incisive text toge ther with the many engravings cannot fail to fascinate those who have enjoyed the novels of Jane Austen.
