Seeking Jane Austen, the Austen Tourist's Guide
by
Susan Jean Hubbard
The fascination with Jane Austen's life and novels just keeps growing. Probably more than any other literary figure, she has sparked a new form of travel - literary tourism. Some of these tourists like to visit stately homes used as the homes of characters in film and tv adaptions of the books, but others simply want to see where Austen herself grew up and the places such as Bath and Hampshire which actually influenced her writing.

Jane Austen Sequels
by
Louise Schjolberg
I, personally have never liked the idea of people writing sequels to Jane Austen's books. No matter how accomplished an author is if they choose to write a sequel to any of Jane Austen's books they are taking her characters and deciding their fate.

Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice
by
Chris Saliba
Jane Austen's 'follow up' to her publishing debut, Sense and Sensibility, was the perennially popular Pride and Prejudice. Despite the fantasy like perfect marriages that crown her fiction, Austen's work provides a close and merciless study of character and society.

Explore Jane Austen's Spa City of Bath
by
Gregory Greene
Jane Austen is perhaps one of the best known and best loved of all the UK's famous female novelists, but did you know she was also a former resident of the spa city of Bath? Many visitors from around the world flock to the beautiful city of Bath with its famous Georgian architecture to see where Jane Austen lived and found much of her inspiration for the characters in many of her books. The city of Bath remembers Jane Austen and her works by having a permanent exhibition at the Jane Austen Centre in the heart of the city between two of Bath's architectural masterpieces: Queen Square and the Circus. The exhibition tells the story of Jane's Bath experience and the influence that living here had on her and her writing. She set two of her later novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, in the city of Bath, as well as using the city for much of her inspiration by featuring notes on social life and music recitals that took place there.

by
Chris Saliba
Jane Austen's first published novel, Sense and Sensibility, promotes a philosophical outlook. Against a background of squabbling families and a rogues gallery of self-interested individuals, it advocates rational thinking, honesty and orderly conduct as a way to achieve happiness. The novel's heroines Elinor and Marianne Dashwood learn that by keeping their passions in check, long term well being can be achieved.
