Jane Austen at Home. A Biography: Lucy Worsley

On the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen`s death, historian Lucy Worsley leads us into the rooms from which our best-loved novelist quietly changed the world.
This new telling of the story of Jane`s life shows us how and why she lived as she did, examining the places and spaces that mattered to her. It wasn`t all country houses and ballrooms, but a life that was often a painful struggle. Jane famously lived a `life without incident`, but with new research and insights Lucy Worsley reveals a passionate woman who fought for her freedom. A woman who far from being a lonely spinster in fact had at least five marriage prospects, but who in the end refused to settle for anything less than Mr Darcy.
