Helen Fielding, Author and Contributor, said: “Jane Austen’s voice is so strong and funny and perceptive. I recommend the books that authors/historians Amanda Vickery and Lucy Worsley wrote on the topics in their video series.
During her lifetime, she wrote thousands of letters to her sister Cassandra. Austen’s life is often conflated with the lives of her heroines – this series knocks that myth on its head and brings the messy reality of her life into focus. After Jane’s death, Cassandra burnt almost all of them. Episode two of a four part series.
