SynopsisTo peruse this lovely volume is to step back in time and experience the world of Georgian and Regency Britain -- the world of Jane Austen's enduringly popular fiction. From grand country houses to humble villagers' cottages, from formal dinners to intimate family suppers, from the streets of Bath to the Cobb at Lyme Regis, the author revisits the places familiar to Austen and her characters as she explores in depth the social and physical environment that formed the backdrop for such classics as Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Sense and Sensibility.Using archival materials, Deirdre Le Faye, an acclaimed Austen authority, clarifies for the modern reader the myriad references in Austen's novels and letters to the places and social customs of her time. With its wealth of illustrations, many never before published, this meticulously detailed account is an essential source of background information for all students and enthusiasts of Jane Austen's books.

An important reading companion for Jane Austen lovers.
This book will familiarize you with her world and help you understand the fashion, customs, laws, family life and so much more of the times when Jane wrote her books. A really fun learning tool, too! This copy replaces my first copy that I left on a plane. Just had to have another!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
