Illustrated with two sections of black-and-white photographic plates and a preliminary section of black-and-white maps. "Nearly two centuries after her death, Jame Austen remains the most beloved of all novelists in the English language, incomparable in the wit, warmth and insight with which she chronicles the wayward hearts and courtships of her unforgettable characters. For all its emotional rewards, her work also offers a vivid depiction of rural life in late Georgian and Regency England, its country balls and ivy -covered vicarages, its social hierarchies and its anxieties about property and income. Yet the milieu Austen depicted is only one aspect of the England in which she lived. For twenty-nine of her forty-one years the country was embroiled in war and faced a constant dread of invasion. Dramatic changes in industry and agriculture were transforming the country's physical and social landscape. The recent loss of America was followed by terrors about the revolution in France, provoking fears that the sporadic unrest and rioting in England might lead to insurrection and the overthrow of the ruling classes. Jane Austen's England offers a fascinating new view of the great novelist's world in a wide-ranging and richly detailed social history of English life in the early nineteenth century. As in their bestselling Nelson's Trafalgar, Roy and Lesley Adkins have drawn upon a wide array of contemporary sources, including diaries, personal letters, newspapers and trial proceedings, as well as Austen's own letters and writings, to chart the daily lives of both the gentry and commoners. From weddings to childbearing, from education to fashion, from labor to leisure and finally to the rituals of death, the Adkins reveal the texture and character of the era. We learn about superstitions regarding wedding rings and wedding cake, the lying-in periods of pregnant women, the toys used to amuse children, the furniture and heatings systems of the period, the typical meals and men's and women's clothing. We also see the darker side of the era: when wives were sold in town marketplaces, when young boys and girls toiled in mines or as chimney sweeps, when fetching water was an onerous daily chore and when ghosts and witches were genuinely terrifying, as were constant attacks by highwaymen. Jane Austen's England is an enthralling and authoritative account of how people worked, played and struggled to survive, and is an illuminating, enriching companion to the great Austen novels." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
