Geraldine Edith Mitton

Inspiring books and movies almost two hundred years after her death, Jane Austen is herself a fascinating character. Beyond the usual details of her life, Jane Austen and Her Times, 1775-1817 expounds upon the clergy, contemporary writers, and the navy. It also features chapters like "Society and Love-Making" and "Dress and Fashion," which are sure to delight the reader. The book, written in 1905, includes twenty-one illustrations, as well as tables and graphs.

The romance of dead cities and a lost civilisation makes an almost inexpressible appeal. There are in Ceylon remains of ancient buildings, records of a history that was all but forgotten. The book tells the story of those dead stones and what they represent. (Snipped from the Title page in the scanned version.)

This is a book of fold-out maps with some short descriptions. Unfortunately the scanned copy of this book does not contain the folded out maps, only the unfolded portions. Thus, most of the true content of this book is lost in the current electronic edition.

Inspiring books and movies almost two hundred years after her death, Jane Austen is herself a fascinating character. In Jane Austen and Her Times 1775-1817, we meet the woman who sardonically captured Victorian womanhood in such novels as Sense and Sensibility (1811) and Pride and Prejudice (1813).
