Jane Austen died this day in 1817. To remember her I suggest
discovering the "haven" for all her addicts, that
is to say the Republic of Pemberly!
You might also be interested in catching a glimpse of Chawton Cottage, now the Jane Austen's House Museum -
on its website you can find, among other things, some really
beautiful videos.
Here you can read an interview with Louise West, who is the Curator of
the Jane Austen House Museum at Chawton.
Here are some other videos to enjoy!
"I have lost a treasure, such a Sister, such a friend as never can have been surpassed, she was the sun of my life, the gilder of every pleasure, the soother of every sorrow, I had not a thought concealed from her, & it is as if I had lost a part of myself …”
From Cassandra's letter to Fanny Knight, 20 July 1817
