Episode 1 Available Now: "Jane Austen & Her House: A Visit with Lizzie Dunford"
On July 7, 1809, Jane Austen moved with her mother and sister to the cottage in Chawton now known as Jane Austen’s House. It was her home for the last 8 years of her life—the place where she revised her early novels for publication and wrote her mature works. In this episode, we visit with the museum’s director, Lizzie Dunford, to discuss the early history of the house, its influence on Austen's writing, some of the Austen treasures on display there, and much more.
