This work provides a comprehensive historical and social examination of the period Jane Austen wrote in - a time when England was developing into a colonial power, while George III sank into madness and the Regency took hold. Elsewhere, the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars raged and the New World was finding its feet. Subjects covered include: the fashions, architecture, customs, traditions and pastimes of the era. Maggie Lane is the author of "Jane Austen and Food", "A Charming Place: Bath in the Life and Novels of Jane Austen", "Jane Austen's England", "Jane Austen's Family" and "The Jane Austen Quiz and Puzzle Book".
