A Night With Jane Austen
Ask anyone to name three famous authors of romantic literature and it would be astoundingly unlikely if the name of Jane Austen were left out. But, then again, she knew full well how to push the buttons of the early 19th century reader, and it remains much the same with those of the early 21st. Just ask TV commissioning editors.
Arguably, the two high altars of “chick-lit” are the Bronte sisters’ Old Parsonage in Haworth, Yorkshire, and Jane Austen’s cottage in Chawton, Hampshire. And it was at the latter that she spent the final eight years of her life, completing works such as Emma, Persuasion and Mansfield Park before her death in July 1817.
For many aficionados, though, no Austen tour is complete without a visit to the famous Georgian city of Bath. After all, the place features so frequently in her works that she is generally credited with being its most famous resident.
Here one will find the ‘Jane Austen Centre’ and an exhibition celebrating her life in Bath between 1801 and 1806. Situated on Gay Street, it is located on the very same thoroughfare upon which she lived for a short period of time.
There are, however, a few more places that might interest fans of Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, and the other novels for which she is renowned. And you don’t merely visit them… you can stay in them.
The author is certainly known to have stayed at the Burford Bridge Hotel near Dorking in Surrey – an area that many will recognise from Emma. And the Angel Posting House & Livery in nearby Guildford is another such place said to have been visited by Miss Austen.
Well-travelled for her day, there will undoubtedly be numerous inns along the old highways where she slept, anonymously, on journeys. One such place at which she is certainly known to have rested, however, is Bodkin House near Badminton in South Gloucestershire. Staying here as a young girl, references to it were later to be made in Northanger Abbey.
Another hotel noted for its connections to Jane is The Dolphin in Southampton. Indeed, it was in its ballroom that she is said to have danced during the evening of the 16th December 1793 – her 18th birthday. The building is presently being restored and refurbished.
However, perhaps the place many will want to visit will be The Rutland Arms in Bakewell, Derbyshire. Stay in room number 2 and you’ll be sleeping where Jane Austen is widely held to have revised her manuscript to Pride & Prejudice in 1811. In fact, it’s difficult for any present-day female admirer to get any closer to Mr Darcy, even if most of we men wouldn’t necessarily want to.

About the Author
What was Jane Austen criticizing in her writing?
In the novel "Pride and Prejudice" and "Persuasion", what does Jane Austen criticize most?
Is she criticizing the social snobbery in the elite class, the expectations on women, or marriage in general?
Does love overcome these things or does reason over come them?
Definitely the snobbery and elitism in the upper classes were criticised-look at how in the start of Persuasion she is already portraying Anne's father to be a silly-minded character! Also Lady Catherine in P and P is seen as also one of these snobbish characters. Also Mr Collins added to the elitist snobbery by yearning to gain some of the credibility through his patronage, and in marrying Charlotte did not overcome this.
However Austen did appreciate that some upper class peopel weren't snobbish. In a way love does overcome this in teh respective marriages in each book, but she also acknowledges that some ppl overcame this without love (and without reason too) but out of sheer good Christian kindliness and love. Anne visited her poor friend not for material gain but because her friend appreciated her visits and once helped her too.
