✦ Synopsis

On the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen's death, historian Lucy
Worsley leads us into the rooms from which our best-loved novelist
quietly changed the world.

This new telling of the story of Jane's
life shows us how and why she lived as she did, examining the places
and spaces that mattered to her. It wasn't all country houses and
ballrooms, but a life that was often a painful struggle. Jane famously
lived a 'life without incident', but with new research and insights Lucy
Worsley reveals a passionate woman who fought for her freedom. A woman
who far from being a lonely spinster in fact had at least five marriage
prospects, but who in the end refused to settle for anything less than
Mr Darcy.
