About the Book

Tour the homes and settings of Jane Austen, one of the most widely read and beloved authors in English literature, in this beautiful book featuring over 100 color photographs and illustrations. “I shall be very glad to see you at home again, and then…who will be so happy as we?” — Jane Austen From her youth in a country rectory in Steventon, a small village in Hampshire, England—where she wrote her first stories for her friends, Volume the First, Volume the Second, and Volume the Third—to the fashionable spa town of Bath, to the seaport of Southampton, to her final years in her last settled home at peaceful Chawton Cottage, where she penned her most famous novel, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen’s life was hardly that of a shut in. A regular visitor to London, to the seashore for holidays, and to the estates of friends and relatives, Jane carried her own notion of home with her wherever she went and drew inspiration for her brilliantly witty novels from every new experience. She wrote most everywhere she traveled, accompanied by her portable writing desk. With gorgeous photography and illustrations, At Home with Jane Austen explores Austen’s world, her physical surroundings, and the journeys the popular author took during her lifetime. Author Kim Wilson ties Austen’s novels to places where she lived, visited, and even attended school, ending with her final months in temporary lodgings in Winchester, England. Jane Austen’s enduring legacy is the final chapter of this beautiful and eye–opening book.

Review :
“Evokes the charm of a Jane Austen novel with lively prose…Wilson relies on Austen’s letters, family memoirs, travel guides, and other publications of the era to create an enchanting biographical sketch…Austen enthusiasts and any reader interested in late 18th– and early 19th–century English society will relish this title.” — Library Journal #1 Non–Fiction Austen–Inspired Title of 2014: “A perfect combination of detailed research, engaging prose, and exquisite illustrations." — Austenprose Selected for Women’s Wear Daily’s “Elements of Style: Fall Book Roundup” “Whether you are a newcomer, or a longtime Austen devotee, this book cannot fail to encourage your own further exploration of her life, times, and work.” — Mary Guyatt, curator of Jane Austen’s House Museum “At Home with Jane Austen is the perfect companion to Austen’s novels” — The Lady magazine “This charming volume will no doubt find an appreciative audience. Wilson (Tea with Jane Austen) once again leads the reader through a specific aspect of Austen's life—in this case, the physical spaces which she lived in or visited…Quotes from Austen's letters convey the day–to–day experience of living in these places, and examples from her work demonstrate how often these experiences found their way into the novels… even casual fans should enjoy following in the beloved author's footsteps. — Publishers Weekly As an ardent admirer of the impeccable research and informative prose found in Kim Wilson’s previous works—Tea with Jane Austen and In the Garden with Jane Austen—I was beyond excited to see she has yet again published another comprehensive and artfully arranged tome about Jane Austen’s life and time…A thoughtful, engaging, and superbly executed compilation! A must read for any Janeite who wants to share a visit with Jane Austen at home. I sincerely hope we will see more books of this nature from the talented pen of Kim Wilson…Brava, Ms. Wilson! This one is another gem! — Austenesque Reviews
