Austen is technically a Georgian, rather than a Victorian, writer. However, members who wish to discuss the Austen novels, or Austen herself, may do so here.

Thanks Renee for starting this thread.

I found this link about the possible connection between Jane Austen and her Sister-in-law, and the East India Company

From a BBC episode of The East India Company they said that Jane Austen books did a lot to promote the womens fashion of the day.

I love Jane Austen and my favourite book of hers has to be 'Pride and Prejudice' but I also loved 'Mansfield Park' and 'Sense and Sensibility'.
