Jane Austen’s England
APRIL 24 – 30, 2012
Do you love Jane Austen’s novels? Come explore her world and her works with experts and other Austen fans. We will discuss the famous novels in their literary locations and experience the countryside that nurtured her imagination and inspired her to write Northanger Abbey, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Persuasion.
We will visit what Jane called “the neighbourhood”: the picturesque villages, ancient churches, manors, and country houses depicted in her novels—and in many movies. Starting in Windsor we will have half a day to visit the castle before heading to Winchester for a day. From that base we will visit Steventon where Austen spent her first twenty-five years, the Vyne where she went to parties and dances, and Chawton where she wrote most of her novels.
Next we will travel to Bath, the Roman town that became a famous resort in the 18th and 19th centuries. From Bath we will travel by private minibus to Lyme Regis where a crucial episode in Persuasion takes place and Lacock, the village used in filming Pride and Prejudice. One night in London for an optional theater outing will round off our trip.
