I know very little about the life or world of Jane Austin, so it was a delight to listen to this episode. My aim with this series of posts is to note down things that I had learnt, however as I knew so little before it would take too long to write, so I’ll keep it to a few short observations.
- The novel is set at the tail end of the Napoleonic wars.
- One of the interesting social dynamics of that time is a large rise in wealth of men who had served in the navy.
Reader, it has a happy ending.
I started watching the 2022 Netflix adaptation, and I’m enjoying it.
