[Music] when Jane Austen's novels were first published back in the early 1800s the reading public of the day took to them with great enthusiasm her independent spirited heroines fell in love with dashing handsome wealthy heroes of good character and although the course of true love never ran smoothly the outcome was always optimistic with plenty of twists and turns in every tale with the passage of time Jane Austen became elevated to the lofty ranks of classic author and for many years she was considered to be the province of students and academics this is how things may well have remained had it not been for a number of major film and television productions towards the end of the 20th century when Jane Austen became a household name as her novels Pride and Prejudice Sense and Sensibility and Emma all received glamorous treatments and clever screenplays as characters were brought to life and modern audiences captivated public perception of Jane Austen changed almost overnight no longer was she reverently discussed in the hushed tones of literary circles viewers all over the world waited with bated breath to see if good would eventually triumph with love and a handsome income conquering all storylines were surprisingly contemporary and actors dressed in Regency splendor only added to the attraction ladies in low-cut necklines and gentlemen in figure-hugging breeches used passion and suddenly Jane Austen the modest daughter of an English country clergyman born in 1775 became the talking point of the day a whole range of merchandise appeared in shops everywhere books were written about every aspect of Jane Austen's life and one of the most interesting elements of her character to emerge was her great love of the English countryside throughout Jane Austen's novels there are many spectacular views of English rural life contrasted dramatically with fashionable town society and tracing the great lady's footsteps offers an amazing picture of the rich and varied English landscape both past and present [Music] this program has been designed to take you on a journey through Jane Austen's life and to the places where she lived holidayed visited and vividly immortalized in her novels it often comes as a shock that Jane Austen only actually completed six novels which are in order of publication Sense and Sensibility Pride and Prejudice Mansfield Park Emma persuasion and Northanger Abbey and compared to other great novelists such as Charles Dickens or Thomas Hardy her output was certainly minimal consequently the legacy she's left is all the more precious and when you consider that she died at the tragically young age of 41 her potential as an author was never fully realized however for any viewer who has never read a Jane Austen novel this is something of an advantage because there are only six books to investigate and we'll only touch on the elements which are relevant to following the Jane Austen Trail it's not only the novels that give us a view of Jane Austen's England because a fine collection of letters also exists predominantly between Jane and her sister Cassandra giving fascinating information about everyday life for the Austen family the letters were written on an almost daily basis whenever the girls were parted documenting their movements around the countryside visiting the houses of friends and relations addresses vary from London to Bath Kent to Lyme Regis and the letters will be the basis of many of the locations that we'll visit throughout the course of this program [Music] as any good storyteller knows the best place to start is at the beginning and in this case the first destination is Jane Austen's birthplace at Steventon even Hampshire Steventon today is a tiny village but at the time of Jane's birth it was little more than a hamlet the Reverend George Austen Jane's father was rector of Steventon and to the lovely little Church of Saint Nicholas he his wife and growing family lived in the nearby rectory which was demolished way back in the 1820s as it was thought to be unfit accommodation for a modern clergy family but it was a home that by all accounts the Austen's made very comfortable and welcoming this is a sketch of Jane's childhood home but it takes a degree of detective work to track down the site of the rectory and this field is it now rich pasture cattle often graze here and the only visible remnant from the Austen's time in residence is the kitchen pub gloriously overgrown which once supplied the family's water to get to the church at Steventon and many thousands of visitors come each year to do just that you actually pass this field and few realized that it was here that Jane Austen was born on the 16th of December 1775 she was the seventh child but only the second daughter in what would eventually be a family of eight and Jane was by no means the only sibling to achieve success it was a busy household and with four older brothers not to mention the boys that the Reverend Austin took in as paying pupils to supplement the family's limited and inadequate income Jane and her older sister Cassandra soon became inseparable when Cassandra was to be sent away to school at Oxford Jane was only 7 years old but begged her mother to be allowed to go to mrs. Austin felt compelled to agree remarking that if Cassandra were going to have her head cut off Jane would insist on sharing her fate there's little to see other than the pump a scattering of elm trees and a slope that Jane used to love to roll down as a child but there's a lovely atmosphere that makes you want to finger a while in what is unquestionably some of the loveliest countryside to be found anywhere in the world closer inspection of the church of st. Nicholas will definitely reveal more of the Austin connection from the lovingly carved sign that gives details of services presided over by Jane at her writing desk quill in hand to the memorials inside it's impossible to miss the homage paid to this parishes most famous daughter there are also memorials to James James eldest brother who's actually buried in the churchyard who took over as rector here on his father's retirement James also had literary ambitions writing rather scholarly poetry but it had none of the popular appeal of his sister's sparkling prose he was a rather melancholy soul who probably died a rather disappointed man there are no such memorials to the next Austin to be born George he did live for a few years at the rectory but because of a mental deficiency he was boarded out with a local laboring family it may have been a hereditary problem as an uncle suffering with similar problems was also kept at the same house this sounds callous by modern standards but was considered normal practice at the time and he outlived Jane by many years surviving well into his 70s Edward was born shortly after George and his good fortune in life enabled Jane to move in high society even if it was as a poor relation Thomas Knight a wealthy cousin of Jane's father had helped improve the Austen's lot on a number of occasions however he and his wife were childless and the Austen's had more children than their meager income could support consequently when Edward was in his teens he was adopted by the Knights as heir to their fortunes again it seems callous if you apply today's values but Edwards mother was convinced it was the right thing to do even if his father was concerned about whether the boy would keep up his Latin I think my dear you had better oblige your cousin's and let the child go there were of course no snapshots for the family album in those days but Edwards adoptive parents commissioned the silhouette who've been looking at to commemorate his arrival interestingly the ladies do not interrupt their game to receive him nevertheless the later portrait shows Edward grown into a fine young man and he went on to inherit great wealth and status proving himself to be well-suited to the life of a country gentlemen of all Jane's brothers Henry the next in line was probably her favorite charming self confident and optimistic he was the entrepreneur of the family when he and older brother James fell in love with the same girl it was Henry despite being ten years her junior that won her hand with the house in London and a head for business Henry was to prove helpful to Jane when it came to having her novels published unfortunately his own ventures were not as successful as his sisters and after facing bankruptcy he lived out his days as a poor curate a faint which he bore by all accounts with extraordinary cheerfulness after Henry came Cassandra the companion that would remain with Jane her whole life long ironically of her two daughters mrs. Austin always considered Cassandra superior to Jane in her own words in all important respect this was no doubt due to Jane's painful shyness which meant she preferred the protection of Cassandra's shadow to the glare of the limelight throughout her formative years between Cassandra and Jane came Frank the first of the great seafaring Austen's entering the Navy is a midshipman at the age of 14 he worked his way through the ranks until at the remarkable age of 89 he was made Admiral of the fleet and rewarded with a knighthood for services to king and country Charles Austin the baby of the family also entered the Navy as a 14 year old midshipman rising to the rank of Rear Admiral although never quite as successful as Frank it was nonetheless a fine achievement but in fairness he didn't live as long as Frank dying of Cholera serving off the coast of Burma a mere youngster in his early 70s looking at the peaceful tranquil scene at Steventon and the tiny church that played such a huge role in the lives of each of the Austin children it's incredible to think that so many of them rose to such significance in society in such very different ways [Music] life in the rectory was settled for many years with Jane and Cassandra developing skills in writing and drawing respectively Jane wrote this history of England by a partial prejudiced and ignorant historian when she was just 15 years old and Cassandra provided the humorous watercolor miniatures to illustrate it the Austen girls were certainly attractive described as two of the prettiest girls in England gaining hearts by the dozens country balls and frequent social occasions gave them plenty of opportunity to meet prospective husbands marriage being the only suitable occupation in life for girls of their social standing unfortunately for Jane and Cassandra England had been at war with France since Jane was seventeen and two the majority of young men were away serving with the Armed Forces those who remained were often poor husband material but even so competition between so-called genteel young ladies was fierce Jane had a brief flirtation with a handsome young Irishman of whom she had high hopes but his family felt that the penniless daughter of a country parson was beneath his station in life although Cassandra fared better becoming engaged to one of her father's former pupils he died of yellow fever on an expedition to the West Indies being unlucky in love certainly gave Jane a wealth of experience to write about and by the age of 20 she'd written her first attempt at a novel Elinor and Marianne later to be published as Sense and Sensibility a year later she wrote first impressions which her father thought excellent offering the novel for publication it was flatly refused and returned unread but it would re-emerge in later years as Pride and Prejudice [Music] [Applause] [Music] jain's next literary attempt was inspired by a trip to Bath with sister Cassandra and it told the story of a young country girl making her society debut in the city the manuscript entitled susan was sold to a publisher for 10 pounds but ironically it was dismissed and did not appear in print until after Jane's death as Northanger Abbey [Music] without doubt Jane Austen was a country woman at heart and described herself as proud to have been a Hampshire born Austen consequently when her father announced that he was retiring to Bath Jane was appalled at the prospect that faced her the city may have proved inspirational on a visit but to live there the idea was just too awful to contemplate and Jane not a young woman prone to fits of the vapors and swooning fainted it was Jane Austen's first experience of helplessness as a single female with no income her brothers had moved away to set up households of their own leaving only the sisters at home with their parents at Steventon the girls had no choice and at the age of 25 Jane left the Beloved Country side of her birth and headed for the city if these thoughts from Jane reflected her true feelings then we know that it was with a heavy heart that she accepted her fate the first view of bath in fine weather does not answer my expectations I think I see more distinctly through rain the Sun was behind everything and the appearance of the place from the top of Kings town was all vapor shadow smoke and confusion as a famous author Jane Austen's name is frequently connected with Bath but few realize just how much she disliked the elegant city apart from the fact that she loved the country the years spent in Bath coincided with a very unsettled period in Jane Austen's life for the first time she experienced real financial insecurity the Austin's at Steventon had never been wealthy but they'd lived in the rectory rent-free and grown most of their own food to buy produce in bath was extremely expensive and also the house that the Austen settled for in the city was both fashionable and pleasant but it did stretch their limited income when the lease was up on the property some three years later they moved to poorer lodgings which had been rejected on their arrival in bath as to low-lying and damp it was without a doubt a step backwards socially and the Austen's problems were compounded just a few months later when the Reverend George Austen died quite suddenly leaving the Austen ladies almost penniless for Jane losing her beloved father was a terrible blow and from this point onwards bath was always linked to this tragic episode we have lost our excellent father an illness of only eight-and-forty hours carried him off yesterday morning it has been very sudden within 24 hours of his death he was walking with only the help for stick was even reading his tenderness is a father who can do justice to the serenity of the corpse is most delightful it preserves the sweet benevolent smile which always distinguished him there were a further two moves too even sadder lodgings in the city before the ladies moved to Southampton to share a house with Jane's brother Frank and his family Frank was away in the Navy and his wife was pregnant so the arrangement was also advantageous to him as he could leave his wife in the care of his mother and sisters it was with great relief that Jane took her leave of Bath and considering what had befallen her there it was hardly surprising however despite what jane austen may have felt about the city bath truly is beautiful and for the many thousands of visitors who come here today there a great deal of interest to see in happier circumstances Jane Austen herself may well have viewed things differently ironically it was one of Jane Austen's distant relations the Duke of Chandos who instigated the rebuilding of Bath in such glorious style he came to take the spar waters for his health in 1727 and saw a wonderful opportunity for redevelopment with a vision of creating a new Roman city the Duke brought in architect and builder John Wood to realize his dream expanding out from the stunning Abbey and the original Roman Baths Queens Square Gay Street and woods piece de resistance the circus all quickly grew to grace the city's landscape his good work was continued by his son another John Wood who built the famous Royal Crescent a great architect of the time Robert Adam was responsible for the beautiful Pulteney bridge which links the city center via great Ponte knee Street with the new elegant developments which sprang up on the other side of the river during Jane Austen's stay in the city baths rapidly grew into a fashionable watering hole and the cream of society flocked in the 18th century Pump Rooms built above the Roman Baths became a popular meeting place and for the modern day visitor it's still possible to drink the waters taken from a hot spring which rises from the ground at 47 degrees centigrade fortunately it tastes quite pleasant unlike some of the other spa waters around the country which can taste absolutely disgusting whatever Jane Austen thought of bath it was certainly a considerable source of inspiration for her writing there was also one other advantage that was to be had for moving to the city during the hot summer months the Austen family would spend long holidays in the West Country to avoid the heat the sea air was also a tonic for Jane Austen spirits and visits to cinema 'the Dawlish tin mirth and lyme regis were always much appreciated just as baths had unhappy associations for jane the seaside certainly seemed to inspire more pleasant uplifting thoughts this is Lyme Regis which Jane Austen used to contrast with the stuffiness of Bath in her novel persuasion the cob which is still learn much visited landmark today had a dramatic role to play in Jane's story as one of her female characters is rather too reckless and slips whilst jumping down from the wall falling unconscious the beach and the lovely walks around over the hills to chareth are pretty much unchanged and as a seaside resort Lyme Regis still has a charming old e-world atmosphere James words about Lyme Regis hold as true today as they did in persuasion all those years ago [Music] the remarkable situation of the town the principal Street almost hurrying into the water the walk to the cob skirting around the pleasant Little Bay which in the season is animated with bathing machines and company the cob itself it's old wonders and new improvements with a very beautiful line of cliffs stretching out to the east of the town or what the strangers I will seek and a very strange stranger it must be who does not see charms in the immediate environment of Lyme to make him wish to know it better there may however have been a very special reason for James fond memories of one particular summer spent by the sea looking at the few portraits that exist of Jane Austen coupled with descriptions of her as an attractive young lady with a lively personality it seems unusual that she didn't marry and if this next story is anything to go by it was misfortune rather than lack of opportunity that prevented this it was many years after Jane's death that her sister Cassandra told the tale of a romantic seaside encounter with a mystery admirer which took place on a summer tour of the West Country while the Austen's were residents of Bath Cassandra evidently approved of the young man describing him as worthy of Jane and the attraction was reported as being mutual unfortunately the budding attachment was cut short as the gentleman was called away but arrangements were made to meet up again with the sisters later on their tour fate dealt a cruel blow and the next information that was forthcoming was news of his death sad as the conclusion to this liaison may have been the romance of the seaside remained important to Jane Austen for the rest of her life frequently cropping up in her writing in very positive fashion [Music] the clock was ticking for Jane young men were in short supply and any hopes of matrimony that she might have had were fading fast a short time after the incident with the mystery admirer Jane and Cassandra were visiting with friends at Steventon the younger brother of the household then aged 21 proposed to Jane six years his senior they were a well-to-do family and the marriage would have provided Jane with a secure and comfortable future and she accepted by the next morning however she changed her mind and after rejecting her young suitor returned home to Bath immediately we know from Jane Austen's novels that she was very much ahead of her time with a view that marriage should be for love or not at all and perhaps despite the advantages being offered her it was the knowledge that she didn't love the young man that made her turn him down It was as if Jane was aware that this was her last chance to marry and have a family of her own because from this point on she became more settled with her lot as a single woman and contented herself with being a much-loved aunt [Music] once away from path although the period of time spent at Southampton was a little grim the Austin ladies began to come to terms with their grief and diminished circumstances then an opportunity arose that was to change their lives very much for the better brother Edwards who'd been adopted by rich relations had come into his own as a wealthy gentleman with a number of fine properties and estates one of his estates was at Chilton in Hampshire where a short distance from the great house stood chorten cottage a substantial red brick building at the heart of the village and it was this property that he offered to his mother and sisters rent-free the fact that chorten is only about 15 miles away from Steventon made this move even more perfect as Jane could at last return to the beloved countryside of her birth so begins the most important chapter in the life of the writer Jane Austen in July 1809 at the age of 33 probably quietly resigned to spinsterhood Jane moved into chorten cottage which she described in glowing terms in a letter to brother Frank as for ourselves were very well as unaffected prose will tell our chorten home how much we find already in it to our mind and how convinced that when complete it will all other houses beat today chorten cottage still stands in the middle of this lovely Hampshire village and as the new name board displays for all to see the alternative title Jane Austen's house this is a very special location for anyone tracing the great lady's footsteps although Jane Austen departed this house in 1817 it truly is just as it was in her day giving the impression that she might well walk back in through a whitewashed door at any moment there are reports of Jane Austen's ghost walking through this house but the reasons for such a strong link to the past are far more tangible there are many personal items here that belonged to the Austin family which have been returned to the museum a lock of Jane's hair still glimmers with traces of Auburn and the Topaz crosses given to Jane and Cassandra by their brother Charles are on display the Hepplewhite bureau bookcase belonged to the Reverend George Austin and along with the accompanying chairs came from the rectory at Steventon there's a patchwork quilt sewn by mrs. Austin Jane and Cassandra alongside a fine collection of Jane's own books and first editions of her novels however pride of place goes to the little writing table set with writing paper and quill where all of her great novels were completed it's one sure sign that James spirits improved when she left bath because she started to write again for all her time in residence in the city only a few letters exist from before she settled in Sidney place and just one from Lyme Regis in 1804 her literary efforts were equally barren with no further manuscripts completed by the time Jane reached the peace and comfort of chorten cottage she was ready to take up her quill again in earnest life was simple for the Austin ladies of chorten cottage with routine and order governing their lives Cassandra had taken on the housekeeping responsibilities with Jane being responsible for making the breakfast of tea and toast Jane loved to play the piano particularly when she was alone and would begin her day before the other residents rose at her music these music books are Jane's own handwritten manuscripts and they've been used in recent years to make authentic recordings of the kind of music Jane enjoyed and indeed make up the soundtrack of this program Jane was delighted with chorten not least because she could have a piano again as on leaving Steventon for bath her piano had been solved yes yes we will have a pianoforte as good one as I can get for 30 guineas and I will practice country dances that we may have some amusement for our nephews and nieces when we have the pleasure of their company this 1810 cementy piano that can be seen today in the museum is a perfect example of the type of instrument Jane would have purchased for her 30 guineas after music and Breakfast Jane would have been free to take up her writing only her immediate family and friends knew of her novel writing as if call has arrived she would carefully concealed her manuscripts this door still creaks to this day and Jane would never allow it to be oiled as the tell-tale squeak would warn her of imminent disturbance allowing her vital seconds to hide her work away [Music] the value of fresh air was also truly appreciated in the Austin household and although the ladies of chorten weren't able to afford to keep a carriage themselves brother Edwards provided this now perfectly restored donkey carriage for the family to use it meant that they could visit a fairly wide circle of acquaintances and of course the great house at Chilton when Edward and his family were in residence the church here in chorten is lovely and it's the place where ruined brother Henry served out his days as a poor country curate both mrs. austin and cassandra are buried side by side in this beautifully kept little churchyard and for anyone passing this way it's well worth a visit when jane austen arrived at chorten it had been some years since she'd sold her manuscript Susan for publication once she knew that the move back to Hampshire was arranged she wrote to the tardy publisher inquiring about its progress Jane was rather affronted when he suggested she buy it back and took matters no further turning her attention instead to transforming Elinor and Marianne into Sense and Sensibility the atmosphere at Chilton proved pleasantly productive and the novel now famous the world over was published anonymously by a lady in 1811 next came Pride and Prejudice telling the great love story of Elizabeth Bennet and mr. Darcy many think that mr. Darcy's grand estate Pemberley in Derbyshire was inspired by a visit Jane Austen made to Chatsworth on a tour of the area Pride and Prejudice appeared in print in 1813 with Jane referring to it as her own darling child and was concerned about how it might be received I must confess that I think Elizabeth Bennet as delightful a creature has ever appeared in print and how I shall be able to tolerate those who do not like her at least I do not know Jane needn't have worried the reading public adored Elizabeth and Pride and Prejudice was a huge success [Music] the next novel Mansfield Park published in 1814 was not so popular although it was the first to be composed in its entirety at chorten the heroine fanny price is a very good sort and to this day it is true to say that readers love her or hate her there's just no middle ground with Fanny Price there's also a fine naval feel to the book influenced strongly by the tales reported back from brothers Frank and Charles Jane was disappointed with the handling of Mansfield Park and changed publisher when Emma came into print in 1815 Jane was yet again adventurous with her leading lady describing her as a heroine whom no one but myself will much like the novel was nevertheless a great success and emma Woodhouse is as popular today as ever [Music] there is however an interesting story connected with Emma which may well have substantially increased the readership quite unexpectedly when Jane Austen was staying in London with her brother Henry she received a visit from a Royal emissary His Royal Highness the Prince Regent the future King George the fourth had heard that Miss Austen was in London and as an admirer of her work invited her to visit the library at Carlton house his London residence the messenger was James Stanier Clark the rather opinionated librarian who offered Jane advice on novel writing the incident provoked Jane to reply with one of her most famous letters explaining why she was unworthy of his attentions I think I may boast myself to be with all possible vanity the most unlearned and uninformed female who ever dared to be an authoress Jane may well have been flattered that the future King admired her work especially as she was still writing anonymously but she was faced with the dilemma when mr. Stanner Clark informed her that the prince had given his permission for her to dedicate Emma to him it was impossible for Jane to decline the honor without causing great offence but she really took a very dim view of the Prince Regent and his scandalous womanizing and the gambling at one stage his wife the Princess of Wales had complained about his treatment of her in a letter to the newspapers and Jane left us even no doubt about her opinion of the prince when she read it I suppose all the world is sitting in judgment upon the Princess of Wales's letter poor woman I shall support her as long as I can because she is a woman and because I hate her husband harsh words from Jane but the dedication was duly made as directed and the success of the novel was assured by the time Jane Austen had completed work on her next novel persuasion her health was beginning to deteriorate rapidly over the ensuing months Jane suffered terribly often in excruciating pain with no relief whatsoever her doctor was a well-respected physician based in Winchester some miles from chorten and he suggested that his patient move to Winchester so he could give more regular care there was nothing else for it and in May 1817 Jane Austen and her faithful sister Cassandra left their chorten home for lodgings here at eight College Street Winchester the house is situated in the shadow of the great Cathedral and despite the good doctors best efforts Jane became weaker by the day as the plaque on the wall shows all too clearly Jane's fight for life was a brief one [Music] Jane Austen died on the 18th of July 1817 at the age of 41 in the arms of her beloved sister Cassandra was left to mourn Jane and watched the tragic burial procession to Winchester Cathedral Jane's final resting place these words sum up Cassandra's terrible personal loss I have lost a treasure such a sister such a friend as never can be surpassed she was the son of my life the Gilder of every pleasure the soother of every sorrow I had not a thought concealed from her and it is as if I had lost a part of myself the cause of Jane's death is still something of a mystery as no one is altogether sure what killed her there are those who believe Addison's disease a disorder affecting the adrenal glands was the cause of her demise but it may well equally have been some form of cancer whatever with none of the medical advances that are available today Jane Austen's death would without doubt have been painful and drawn-out not only for her but for those that had loved her so dearly as the agony of watching Jane and her genius fading away must have been appalling Winchester Cathedral is a magnificent piece of architecture but there's nothing grand about Jane Austen's memorial stone a simple but poignant slab on the floor of the north aisle in the nave and who can say how many people walk across Jane Austen's mortal remains without even realising that she's there a brass plaque can be found on the wall above it and there are always helpful cathedral guides on hand to point anyone searching for Jane Austen's grave in the right direction [Music] fortunately before Jane's death the completed manuscript of persuasion had been placed in Henry Austin's capable hands who'd also secured the return of the manuscript of Suzan sold all those years before for ten pangs never to see the light of day again Jane reworked the novel and completed it as Northanger Abbey she was particularly delighted that Henry had conveniently forgotten to mention that the disregarded manuscript was an early offering from the pen of the much acclaimed author of Pride and Prejudice and the price agreed to by Susan back had been nominal it would perhaps have been pleasant irony for Jane Austen that the disobliging publisher who'd snubbed her work had lost out on Northanger Abbey both persuasion and Northanger Abbey were published together under Henry's care in December 1817 and for the very first time Jane Austen's name appeared in print as the author the rest is of course history and of the days of Jane Austen being perceived as exclusively the province of dusty academics is thankfully long gone many new generations of readers have discovered the delights of her novels and will continue to do so for generations to come however this program has highlighted an even greater story that of Jane Austen herself and the beautiful English countryside that she loved so well and immortalized [Music] there are those who have criticized her own particular brand of parochialism notably the author D H Lawrence when he described Jane Austen as thoroughly unpleasant English in the bad mean snobbish sense of the word but really you only have to see with your own eyes the landscape of her imagination to find fault with this statement the England Jane Austen portrays is the England that she knew and loved what she did or hate it the novels have been left as a fascinating snapshot of a particular moment in time fortunately many of the places that inspired Jane Austen have also been left untouched and for the modern day traveler seeking to follow in her footsteps the rewards will hopefully during the course of this program have spoken for themselves [Music]
