Download or read book Jane Austen s England written by Roy Adkins and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An authoritative account of everyday life in Regency England, the backdrop of Austen’s beloved novels, from the authors of the forthcoming Gibraltar: The Greatest Siege in British History (March 2018) Jane Austen, arguably the greatest novelist of the English language, wrote brilliantly about the gentry and aristocracy of two centuries ago in her accounts of young women looking for love. Jane Austen’s England explores the customs and culture of the real England of her everyday existence depicted in her classic novels as well as those by Byron, Keats, and Shelley. Drawing upon a rich array of contemporary sources, including many previously unpublished manuscripts, diaries, and personal letters, Roy and Lesley Adkins vividly portray the daily lives of ordinary people, discussing topics as diverse as birth, marriage, religion, sexual practices, hygiene, highwaymen, and superstitions. From chores like fetching water to healing with medicinal leeches, from selling wives in the marketplace to buying smuggled gin, from the hardships faced by young boys and girls in the mines to the familiar sight of corpses swinging on gibbets, Jane Austen’s England offers an authoritative and gripping account that is sometimes humorous, often shocking, but always entertaining.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Georgian Era, Vol. 4 of 4: Memoirs of the Most Eminent Persons, Who Have Flourished in Great Britain, From the Accession of George the First to the Demise of George the Fourth This eminent legislator, the son of Admiral Sir William Penn, knight, and descended from an ancient family in the counties of Wilts and Bucks, was born in the parish of St. Catherine, London, in the year 1644. He received the first part of his education at a school in Chigwell, Essex, and, after some further instruction under a private tutor, was, in 1660, entered a gentleman commoner of Christchurch College, Oxford. His conduct at the university gave a favourable specimen of what might be expected from a character so firm and conscientious. Having imbibed religious impressions very strongly, he relinquished manly sports and recreations, though naturally addicted to them, and joined some other students in private meetings for devotional exercises. The heads of his college, at first, fined him for this mark, as they called it, of a sectarian spirit; and, as Penn persisted in his course, dismissed him from the university. He was then only seventeen years of age, and his father was so much incensed at seeing him return home under such unpropitious circumstances, that, after a severe remonstrance, he turned him out of doors. In the hope, however, of reclaiming him, he tried milder measures, one of which was to send him on his travels. He returned to England, after having passed two years in France, and bad so far justified his fathers anticipations, as to have become, in that time, an accomplished and fashionable young man. He had even grown such a skilful swordsman, that, it is said, he disarmed a person who had assaulted him in the streets of Paris. Shortly after his return, he was entered a student of Lincolns Inn, and continued his legal pursuits in the metropolis till compelled to leave it, by the plague. In 1666, he went into Ireland, to superintend the management of one of his fathers estates. In this country his former sentiments began to revive; and, having become a hearer of the discourses of one Loe, whose preaching had formerly affected him, he, at length, openly joined the fraternity of Quakers. In 1667, at one of their assemblies in Cork, he was apprehended, and carried to prison; but he wrote such an excellent letter on the subject, to the Earl of Orrery, that his liberation speedily followed. His father, at the same time, recalled him home, and, convinced of the unalterable sentiments of his son, no longer opposed them. He, however, could not forbear stipulating, that Penn would, at least, consent to stand uncovered in the presence of the king, the Duke of York, and himself; and the subject of our memoir having, after due consideration, refused this, was again banished his family. In this situation, he lived partly on the charity of friends, and partly on private supplies from his mother. At length, his father, whose prejudices were unable to overcome the affection and respect he could not but feel for his son, received him home again; and, when he was imprisoned for attendance on the meetings of his sect, used secretly his influence to restore him to freedom. In 1668, he published a tract, entitled, Truth Exalted; and appearing, about the same time, as a preacher as well as a writer among the Quakers, he was committed to the Tower. Here he wrote his most famous work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com
