The thirteen letters collected by Jane Austen's House Museum, in Chawton, Hampshire and reproduced in this book give us intimate glimpses into her life in Bath and Chawton and on visits to London, many of their details finding echoes in her fiction. [This book] traces a lively story beginning in 1801, when, aged twenty-five, Jane Austen left Steventon in Hampshire to move to Bath. Later letters relish the shops, theatres and sights of London, but are interspersed from 1809 with the quieter routines of village life in Chawton, Hampshire, which was to be her home for the remainder of her short life. We learn here of her anxieties for the reception of Pride and Prejudice, her care in planning Mansfield Park and the hilarious negotiations over the publication of Emma. These letters, each accompanied by reproductions from the original manuscripts in Jane Austen's hand, testify to Jane's deep emotional bond with her sister: the most moving letter of all is that written by Cassandra only days after Jane's death in Winchester in July 1817. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (page 126) and index. 505 0 $a Chronology -- Introduction -- Letters -- Further reading. 600 10 $a Austen, Jane, $d 1775-1817 $v Correspondence. 600 10 $a Austen, Jane, $d 1775-1817 $x Homes and haunts $z Chawton. $z Chawton. 600 17 $a Austen, Jane $d 1775-1817 $2 gnd 600 17 $a Austen, Jane, $d 1775-1817. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00032929 650 0 $a Novelists, English $y 19th century $v Correspondence. 650 7 $a Homes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353235 650 7 $a Novelists, English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01039718 651 7 $a England $z Chawton. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01203275 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Records and correspondence. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423917 700 1 $a Sutherland, Kathryn, $e writer of introduction. $e writer of introduction. 710 2 $a Jane Austen's House Museum. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20181116043436.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8A63E620580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
