About this listen

Here is a lively and highly accessible overview of the life and times of one of England's most beloved authors. Using excerpts from a wide variety of sources, such as Austen's own personal correspondence and the works of her contemporaries, Mitton chronicles her literary career and family life amidst the changing climate of the Georgian and Regency eras, giving the audience a sense of what it was like to live in her world. A must-hear for the dedicated Austen aficionado!

"Jane Austen and Her Times" was first published in 1905. The book provides a detailed look at the social and cultural context in which Jane Austen lived and worked, exploring topics such as fashion, food, travel, and leisure activities.

Mitton draws on a range of sources, including Austen's novels and letters, to paint a picture of life in Georgian England. She also provides biographical information about Austen and discusses the critical reception of her work.

This is considered an important work of Austen scholarship and provides valuable insights into the world in which Austen lived and wrote. The book has been reissued and reprinted several times since its original publication and remains a popular resource for Austen enthusiasts and scholars.
