| Description: |
This work demonstrates the importance of the navy, both in Jane Austen's life and her novels. Two of her brothers served in Nelson's navy and later became admirals. Similarly, "Mansfield Park" and "Persuasion" both offer extended accounts of naval attitudes and navy life. |
| Synopsis: |
Jane Austen and the Navy, based upon family papers and naval records, shows the novelist as a historian of Nelson's Navy - not the Navy of great victories at sea but the Navy at home, and of sailors amongst their families and friends - but it is set against the background of war, with Revolutionary and Napoleonic France, fought across the globe between 1793 and 1815. Brian Southam, formerly a university lecturer and publisher, is now Chairman on the Jane Austen Society. He ahs published widely on Jane Austen's life and works. |
