Jane Austen & Adlestrop Her Other Family : A New Perspective on Jane Austen and Her Novels

Description

‘Jane Austen & Adlestrop’ opens a fresh window on the author’s life and experience. It examines the probabilities that Adlestrop Park, the Parsonage House and Stoneleigh Abbey inspired not only the fictional places such as Thornton Lacey and Southerton in ‘Mansfield Park’, but also how the Leighs’ colourful lives and inheritance problems influenced many of the plot lines in Jane Austen’s books.
