Have you ever wished you could escape the everyday and just for a moment live in Jane Austen’s world?Jane Austen did not place her stories in palaces or on the battlefields, but in that one building so important, then and now: the home. The house, and lack of a home are key to Jane Austen’s novels. Marriage was more than just a romantic alliance for Elizabeth Bennet or Elinor Dashwood. It also meant a home of their own, and a valued role as mistress of the house and estate.
But to get that home, to secure that marriage, Jane Austen’s women had to walk a tightrope of social expectation, field off competitors and rise above their embarrassing family situation, all while remaining true to themselves.
Behind Jane Austen's Door takes a tour of a Regency home to explore the lives of Jane Austen's women. Room by room, this book explores the delicate challenges and beautiful lives of Jane Austen's women.
