Jane Austen at Home. a biography

Opis książki:

Historian Lucy Worsley visits Jane Austen at home, exploring the authors life through the places which meant the most to her.

This is my kind of history: carefully researched but so vivid that you are convinced Lucy Worsley was actually there at the party - or the parsonage. Antonia Fraser
A refreshingly unique perspective on Austen and her work and a beautifully nuanced exploration of gender, creativity, and domesticity. Amanda Foreman
Brilliant and very moving, this book is a fascinating and original exploration of Jane Austen with lots of new material - Worsley brings Austen to life superbly, through her pages she is a flesh and blood woman, intelligent, powerful, contradictory, loving, loved. A magnificent book. Kate Williams
On the 200th anniversary of Jane Austens death, historian Lucy Worsley leads us into the rooms from which our best-loved novelist quietly changed the world.

This new telling of the story of Janes life shows us how and why she lived as she did, examining the places and spaces that mattered to her. It wasnt all country houses and ballrooms, but a life that was often a painful struggle. Jane famously lived a life without incident, but with new research and insights Lucy Worsley reveals a passionate woman who fought for her freedom. A woman who far from being a lonely spinster in fact had at least five marriage prospects, but who in the end refused to settle for anything less than Mr Darcy.
