Beschreibung

An immersive journey through the landscapes that shaped Austen's life and fiction, explored through detailed walking tours. This unique guide is the only book that lets you explore Jane Austen's England on foot, tracing the landscapes that shaped her life and fiction. With 15 circular walks through Hampshire, Kent, Bath, Devon, Lyme Regis and beyond, Anne-Marie Edwards reveals the real country houses, churches, and elegant cities Austen knew and the people who inspired her characters. Visit Godmersham House, the model for Pemberley in Pride and Prejudice, and stand on Box Hill, where Emma's infamous picnic unfolded. Wander through Steventon's hedgerows, stroll the Cobb at Lyme Regis and explore Chawton Cottage, where Austen revised Sense and Sensibility and wrote Emma. Each walk is rich with literary insight, historical detail and vivid anecdotes drawn from Austen's letters. First broadcast on the BBC and now updated with maps and illustrations, this remains the definitive walking guide to Austen's world. Whether you're a seasoned rambler or a devoted reader, Jane Austen's England offers a fresh, immersive way to experience the places behind the novels

Portrait

Anne-Marie Edwards (1932-2023) was the author of over 40 travel guides to the English countryside. She contributed to The Jane Austen Companion and Walker's Britain. Edwards originally broadcast most of these walks on the BBC. She was a member of the Ramblers Association, the Backpackers Club, The British Shakespeare Association and the Jane Austen Society. Well into her 80s, Edwards continued to lead walking tours and give lectures with the proceeds going to charity.
