‘I begin to fear I may be the heroine of a story with no hero.’
‘I have made it my study, for my own satisfaction, to say plainly what I wish to say but what my conscience and my pride alike prevent me from wishing anybody to understand.’
Who was Jane Austen in love with? Anyone who reads the novels with attention realises there was someone. There must be a Mr W behind all the Wickhams, Willoughbies and Wentworths. But what non-fictional man could have been worthy of her immemorial mind? And why, if they met, did they never marry?
Drawing on historical letters and reminiscences, Janet and Arthur imagines two weeks in Worthing, 1805, when the romance of Jane’s life blossomed, and traces the impact of those blessed days on the literary landscape of England and the battlefields of Europe.
Janet and Arthur is not a modern novel in period dress, but an attempt to enter into the mental realities of early 19th century life and take the reader to the heart of what it was to be Jane. It is also the story of ‘W’, the only man she ever loved, and whose love for her shaped him and the world in which they both lived.
