Jane Austen died this day in 1817. She
left her home at Chawton for the last time on the 24th May 1817 in order to go
to Winchester to be treated there. Her health was failing and she needed more
expert care than could be provided by the local apothecary. She lived in
lodgings in College Street, but her treatment there was not successful and she
died on the 18th July. She was buried in the north aisle of Winchester
Cathedral.
Here are some of the best quotes from the novelist and her characters.
