Jane Austen: a Family Record: Second Edition Deirdre Le Faye Frontmatter More Information
Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-53417-8 - Jane Austen: A Family Record: Second Edition Deirdre Le Faye Frontmatter More information JANE AUSTEN: AFAMILY RECORD This book is the outcome of years of research in Austen archives, and stems from the original family biography by W. and R. A. Austen- Leigh, Jane Austen: her Life and Letters. Jane Austen: A Family Record was first published in 1989, and this new edition incorporates information that has come to light since then, and provides new illustrations and updated family trees. Le Faye gives a detailed account of Jane’s life and literary career. She has collected together documented facts as well as the traditions concerning the novelist, and places her within the context of a widespread, affectionate and talented family group. Readers will learn how Jane transformed the stuff of her peaceful life in the Hampshire countryside into six novels that are amongst the most popular in the English language. This fascinating record of Austen and her family will be of great interest to general readers and scholars alike. Deirdre Le Faye has been actively researching the life and times of Jane Austen and her family for the last thirty years. In 1995 she pre- pared a completely new edition of Jane Austen’s Letters. She has also written several other books: a short illustrated biography, Jane Austen (1998), Jane Austen’s ‘Outlandish Cousin’, the Life and Letters of Eliza de Feuillide (2002) and Jane Austen: The World of Her Novels (2002)as well as numerous articles in literary journals. © in this -
Jane Austen's Soldier Brother: the Military Career of Captain Henry Thomas Austen of the Oxfordshire Regiment of Militia, 1793-7801
Jane Austen's Soldier Brother: The Military Career of Captain Henry Thomas Austen of the Oxfordshire Regiment of Militia, 1793-7801 CLIVE CAPLAN 111 CarletonIslip Avenue, Terrace, Islip Terrace, New York NY 11752-0047 It was February 1793. For just one week Britain had been at war with France. The country was mobilizing; militia regiments were hasten- ing to their posts. This is the story of the Oxfordshire Regiment, and one of its officers-Henry Thomas Austen. On Thursday last the Oxfordshire Regiment of Militia, lately embodied here, marched from hence on their route to Newbery [slc], Berks. Their Military Deportment, and Alacrity for Service, did honour to the County. The whole Regiment manifested an Ardour for opposing and subduing the Enemies of this Country, intemal or extemal. Opposite Christ Church they made a halt, whilst they struck up "God save the King," joined by some thousands of spectators, and accompanied by the Band of the Regiment; after which they resumed their March amidst the Shouts and Acclamations of a vast Concourse of People. (lOl,9Febl793) At this moment Henry Austen was not yet a soldier, but a Fellow at Oxford University. He was to become a soldier and then an army agent, a banker and then a bankrupt, and at last, a clergyman. He would escort his sister Jane on her travels, become her literary agent, and after her death be her first biographer. In this biography his statement that Jane's life "was not by any means a life of event" (NP&P 3) received much attention from critics and unduly influ- enced much later Austenian commentary. -

Dad, I want to thank you for always believing in me, and assuring me I could do whatever I wished – as long as I read. Maybe someday I will work in the family business, but for now, I will just keep on reading. Mum, you are my Wonder Woman, and nothing I might try to say about you and your never-ending love will do you justice, so I will just thank you for everything, always.
