Jane Austen
Jane Austen was born in Hampshire in 1775, the seventh child and youngest daughter of George Austen, rector of Deane and Steventon, and his wife, Cassandra. She began writing poems, plays and stories for her family from a young age, and her first published novel, Sense and Sensibility, was released by Thomas Egerton to sell-out acclaim in 1811. Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1815) followed, and these were the last of Austen’s works to come out in her lifetime. Her novels, including the posthumously published Northanger Abbey (1818) and Persuasion (1818), are today considered amongst the finest in the English language. She died at Winchester in 1817.
Lucy Worsley
Lucy Worsley is an historian, author, curator and television presenter. She read Ancient and Modern History at New College, Oxford, before beginning work at an historic house at Milton Manor, and then becoming an Inspector of Ancient Monuments at English Heritage. Worsley is currently Chief Curator at Historic Royal Palaces, an independent charity which opens to the public the unoccupied royal palaces, including the Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace and Kensington Palace. Her books include Cavalier: A Biography of a Seventeenth Century Playboy (2008), Courtier: The Secret History of the Georgian Court (2011) and Jane Austen at Home: A Biography (2017).
