Issue 13
- January 2005 is the 200th anniversary of the death of the Rev. George Austen and we pay him a tribute. Did his relationship with Jane did resemble that of Lizzie and Mr Bennet?
- Thanks to Kirsten Elliott’s beady eyes, we now have the opportunity to evaluate a previously UNKNOWN letter, written by Jane Leigh-Perrot that turned up on E-Bay.
- A passage from another letter, this time from Jane’s sailor brother, Francis, has caught Maggie Lane’s eye. She reveals his attitudes to slavery, an issue alluded to, in Mansfield Park.
- Can we make a connection between Mansfield Park and Stoneleigh Abbey? This article explores the grandest house in which Jane Austen ever stayed
- Are there any similarities between singleton Anne Elliot and singleton Bridget Jones? Judy Silkoff gives you a chance to decide as she examines both the film version and the book The Edge of Reason
