Jane Austen Trilogy

Jane Austen's Life:

Jane Austen was born in 1775 and died in 1817. It may have been a short and seemingly uneventful life, but for the literary world, it was an invaluable one. This DVD takes us to the places which shaped Jane Austen's vision, and inspired her to write some of the best loved classic novels worldwide. Explore Steventon, the village of her birth; find out what she really thought about Bath and discover Cassandra's revelations about Jane's mystery seaside admirer. Combine all this with the fascinating Jane Austen Museum at Chawton and enjoy a journey through the same glorious English countryside which Jane Austen experienced for herself nearly two hundred years ago.

Jane Austen's Works:

In her short life Jane Austen wrote six novels. These well loved English classics may have once been regarded as the province of the literature student, but due to recent film and television productions they have gained mass following on both sides of the Atlantic.

This DVD explores the development of Austen's style, her bright sparkling wit and her unforgettable characters. See the places Jane wrote about as they are today, from the tranquility of Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, to the hustle and bustle of London. Then step back into the world of Regency Society, preserved for all time in the work of Jane Austen.

Jane Austen's Society:

Jane Austen lived in a dramatically exciting period of English history. Although her six novels are more concerned with the manners of courtship, marriage and money than social change and political intrigue of the time, there is a background steeped in Regency atmosphere.

This DVD explores the society which Jane Austen was very happy to be part of, looking beyond her novels to her sharp witty correspondence with her sister Cassandra, giving us Jane's personal impression of life at the turn of the 18th and 19th century. Moreover, this program visits the locations and discovers the people that are fundamental to our understanding of her work and the revered place which her novels hold in the world of literature.
