Book excerpt: Jane Austen and Dorothy Wordsworth were born just four years apart, in a world torn between heady revolutionary ideas and fierce conservatism, but their lives have never been examined together before. They both lived in Georgian England, navigated strict social conventions and new ideals, and they were both influenced by Dorothy’s brother, the Romantic poet William Wordsworth, and his coterie. They were both supremely talented writers yet often lacked the necessary peace of mind in their search for self-expression. Neither ever married. Jane and Dorothy uses each life to illuminate the other. For both women, financial security was paramount and whereas Jane Austen hoped to achieve this through her writing, rather than being dependent on her family, Dorothy made the opposite choice and put her creative powers to the use of her brilliant brother, with whom she lived all her adult life. In this probing book, Marian Veevers discovers a crucial missing piece to the puzzle of Dorothy and William’s relationship and addresses enduring myths surrounding the one man who seems to have stolen Jane’s heart, only to break it . . .

Book excerpt: Jane Austen and Dorothy Wordsworth never met, but they had much in common. Born in the 1770s in Georgian England, to a world torn between heady revolutionary ideas and fierce conservatism, they were both influenced by the Romantic ideals of Dorothy's brother, William Wordswsorth, and his friends. They were supremely gifted writers yet suffered the frustrations of talented women of their age who had no independent income. Neither ever married. Jane and Dorothy uses each life to reflect light on the other, examining their emotional and creative worlds. In placing them in their historical and social context, Marian Veevers highlights the plight of single women of that era, who had little control over their lives. It also includes new insights: there has been much speculation about the true nature of Dorothy and William's relationship and Marian Veevers has discovered a missing piece of the puzzle; she also debunks enduring myths surrounding the one man who seems to have stolen Jane's heat--only to break it. -- Inside jacket flap.

Book excerpt: An intimate portrait of Jane Austen, Dorothy Wordsworth, and their world—two women torn between revolutionary ideas and fierce conservatism, artistic creativity and emotional upheavals. Jane Austen and Dorothy Wordsworth were born just four years apart, in a world torn between heady revolutionary ideas and fierce conservatism, but their lives have never been examined together before. They both lived in Georgian England, navigated strict social conventions and new ideals, and they were both influenced by Dorothy’s brother, the Romantic poet William Wordsworth, and his coterie.

For both women, financial security was paramount and whereas Jane Austen hoped to achieve this through her writing, rather than being dependent on her family, Dorothy made the opposite choice and put her creative powers to the use of her brilliant brother, with whom she lived all her adult life. Though neither path would bring lasting fulfillment and independence, both women’s mark on literary culture is undeniable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this group biography of the women who featured in the lives of the poets William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Robert Southey, Kathleen Jones takes us into the kitchens, sickrooms, and eventually the madwoman's attics of these major Romantic households. The image of the familiar rustic idyll of Romantic poetry depends upon the bracing way these women bore the brunt of domestic realities. Their letters and journals form the basis for an illuminating new account of their interconnected lives--their passionate attachments, jealousies, the deaths of children, the realities of chronic ill health--at the same time contributing to our understanding of Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Southey as all-too-fallible human beings.

Book excerpt: Jane Austen's first published work, fastidiously constructed and sparkling with her unique witFor Elinor Dashwood, sensible and sensitive, and her romantic impulsive younger sister Marianne, the prospect of marrying the men they love appears remote. In a world ruled by money and self-interest, the Dashwood sisters have neither fortune nor connections. Concerned for others and for social politeness, Elinor is ill-equipped to compete with self-centred fortune-hunters like Lucy Steele. Meanwhile Marianne's unswerving belief in the truth of her own feelings makes her more dangerously vulnerable to the designs of unscrupulous men.Through her heroines' similar experiences of love, loss, and hope, Jane Austen offers a powerful analysis of the ways in which women's lives were shaped by the suffocating society in which they had to survive.
