Jane Austen lived in a dramatically exciting period of English history. Although her six novels are more concerned with the manners of courtship marriage and money than the social change and political intrigue of the time there is a background steeped in Regency atmosphere. This DVD explores the society of which Jane Austen was very happy to be part looking beyond her novels to her sharp witty correspondence with her sister Cassandra giving us Jane's personal impression of life at the turn of the 18th century. The growth of Bath and Brighton are examined together... with the architecture of the time. An overview is taken of the developments in the fields of medicine religion politics painting and literature. Moreover the programme visits the places and discovers the people who may not have appeared in Austen's novels but are fundamental to our understanding of her work and the revered place which her work holds in the world of literature.
