"Wilkes makes the world of Jane Austen come to life . . . from travel to fashion, shopping, leisure, and, of course, finding a mate" (Britain Express).
Immerse yourself in the vanished world inhabited by Austen's contemporaries. Packed with detail and anecdotes, this is an intimate exploration of how the middle and upper classes lived from 1775, the year of Austen's birth, to the coronation of George IV in 1820. Sue Wilkes skillfully conjures up all aspects of daily life within the period, drawing on contemporary diaries, illustrations, letters, novels, travel literature, and archives.
"A delight. I don't think I've ever read a book that paints such a vivid picture of daily life in late 18th and early 19th century England. It makes a perfect companion for Austen's beloved novels." -The Heritage Traveller
"A thoroughly engaging-and very informative-'eyewitness' guide to everything from medical matters to modes of travel." -Joceline Bury, Jane Austen's Regency World
"Written as if to a first-time traveler in the Regency . . . an inviting read . . . a perfect gift for every Janeite friend and family member." -Austenprose
"A worthy contribution to the field of Austen social history and uses the mundane realities of life to illuminate the reader's experience." -Sensibilities
