Caroline Sanderson seeks out Jane Austen's England to see what still
remains today. Following in Jane Austen's footsteps, she tramps the muddy
fields around Austen's childhood home in Hampshire, walks the elegant
streets of Bath, and strolls along the breezy promenades of south coast
resorts. Drawing on Jane Austen's letters and novels, Sanderson charts her
own experiences of the places from which Jane Austen sought inspiration,
and reaches some original and fascinating conclusions, whilst shedding
light on just why this very English novelist is still so universally
cherished and why her influence remains so great.
