kcscarp reviewed Jane Austen's England by Roy Adkins
A serious work of history about the world of Jane Austen
5 stars
This is an excellent book. It is full of day-to-day details drawn from first-hand sources. The authors are outstanding writers, and present a lot of information in a very readable way. Just be prepared —- if you have rosy views of this era, the authors will dash them.
