Jane Austen's World

What did I learn about Jane Austen while travelling to Bath?

Hi! It's Anna again and I will be sharing what I learned about Jane Austen in Bath. We learned many things, so I will be sharing some.

One thing I learned about Jane Austen is that she loved her brother Henry. He was her favorite brother and he published her books with her name on then after she died. She also had a sister named Cassandra and they were quite close. She also had two military brothers and one who got adopted by her rich aunt and uncle.

Jane Austen loved Bath. She lived there for around four years. She had also lived in a home in Hampshire. It was a great party City and she partied a lot, though it distracted her from her writing. In 1805, her father died and her and her mother moved to a less homey abode in Bath. It was smaller, and it was on Gay Street.

Jane and her mother were running out of money fast, and her brother who got adopted, Edward moved them into one of his many homes as he had become very rich after his aunt and uncle/parents died. Jane continued writing and some of her books were published anonymously. Simply saying "Written by a Woman." Jane died of a mysterious disease at the time. Might have been cancer, or something else, but she sadly passed away at the age of 41. She had never married or had any children, which was crazy for the time.

Now people read her books all the time, she is incredibly famous, most have been turned into movies, some many times. Though she died young. There is even a Jane Austen festival in her so loved city of Bath, that lasts ten days and starts with a royal promenade. A short, but fulfilling life of one of England's most famous authors.
