Jane Austen: The Life of a Regency Era Literary Icon
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen is one of England's best-loved and most-read authors. This year is the 250th anniversary of her birth in December 1775, and her works are as popular as they ever were. But her own story is far less known than that of her heroines. So we're here today to learn all about Jane Austen.
Our guest this week is Paula Byrne, one of the world's leading Jane Austen experts. Paula's new book, Six Weeks by the Sea, is a novel that imagines Jane Austen in love herself.
