Why read it?
1 author picked Jane Austen's England as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Any tour of Regency England needs to start with the familiar, and Jane Austen’s England provides an excellent overview of the geography, traditions, and politics of the period. Though the title says Jane Austen, I love how much detail it has on things Austen never wrote about, like childrearing and crime (especially counterfeiting, which you’ll have to read to believe!). Whether you read it cover to cover or search out interesting facts, this book has everything you need to start your journey.
From Melissa's list on touring the unfamiliar corners of Regency England.
