Electronic version of 1901 Jane Austen biography
For all those AustenBlog visitors who are perhaps a trifle sick of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE filming news, we found an interesting link in our travels that we thought might be of interest: an electronic version of Jane Austen, Her Homes and Her Friends by Constance Hill, first published in 1901, from the University of Pennsylvania’s Celebration of Woman Writers.

I love this book, partly because it was written exactly half way between our time and JA’s. I think of 1901 as modern times (almost.) Heck, all my grandparents were alive then. My father was born just a decade later. And yet, the author was able to speak to people who remembered, if not Jane herself, her siblings and nephews and nieces.
