From prize-winning historical novelist Louise Allen, this book
presents nine walks through both the London Jane Austen knew and the
London of her novels! Follow in Jane's footsteps to her publisher's
doorstep and the Prince Regent's vanished palace, see where she stayed
when she was correcting proofs of Sense and Sensibility and accompany
her on a shopping expedition – and afterwards to the theatre. In
modern London the walker can still visit the church where Lydia
Bennett married Wickham, stroll with Elinor Dashwood in Kensington
Palace Gardens or imagine they follow Jane's naval officer brothers as
they stride down Whitehall to the Admiralty. From well-known landmarks
to hidden corners, these walks reveal a lost London that can still
come alive in vivid detail for the curious visitor, who will discover
eighteenth-century chop houses, elegant squares, sinister prisons,
bustling city streets and exclusive gentlemen's clubs amongst
innumerable other Austen-esque delights.
