I know right?! Her books have so many “poor” rich families.

[@taranguyen7565]

Having read all her books I was curious about the term cottage until by chance I find a book solely about cottage which is not what we imagine today .In Sense and Sensibility novel, we made sense that a cottage was more like other modest place owned by the peers/wealthy , like vacation home in the country or near the sea

The only thing I know about Jane Austen is her books, and that she never married, and that she died rather young. But she was a GENIUS. Her insight into character is excellent. The life lessons she wrote about are incredibly helpful to young people. I say they are a must-read for high-school students.

[@simonestreeter1518]

Her books are wasted on high school students. It takes some real life experience to begin to appreciate the level of mastery they contain.

You should read one of her biographies. Her family faced many challenges. And she did have some romance in her life.

@@simonestreeter1518 I reread Persuasion and Emma this month! I hadn't read Emma in many years and I did appreciate the writing more this time.

[@adrijamukherjee6818]

Jane Austen has always been one of my fav authors. Although I'm 18 yet unlike my other gen z fellows, I'm a forever old soul. I distinctly remember when I was in grade 7, we had Pride and Prejudice as a part of our syllabus and majority of my classmates hated reading it due to the usage of weighty English words which undoubtedly seemed a bit difficult to learn especially being non native English speakers. But on the other hand, I was so fascinated to know about the novel and even if I had the similar obstacle with mastering those heavy words, I managed to get through it with my passion and interest. And now here I'm, still an admirer of the Regency Era and everything classic with Jane Austen being my fav author since the 7th grade. It's indeed such a pleasure to have a look of my fav author's house and at least have a blurry imagination of what life might've been during her time! Thanks a ton for sharing this wonderful video!🤍 much love from India!!

[@teetarquin7012]

Jane Austen is my favorite author. Her characters and the places she writes about verily come alive in my mind. A kind of movie is created in my head when I read her novels. She writes about love so exquisitely, it’s hard to believe she never married. But I guess that was because you had to have money to make a good match, just as she writes about. She had such a fine mind, I am sure she would not have just “settled” just for the sake of marriage I just adore her.

The tiny writing table reminds me of something I saw at Mark Twain's home in Hartford, CT. On the top (third) floor of the house is a large billiards room which doubled as Twain's study. At one end of the room there is a large formal desk. In the wall just behind it is a small window, and next to this is a small (not quite as small as Jane's) table where Twain chose to do his writing. It seemed so odd; he was within arm's reach of a large, comfortable desk, yet he chose to write at what amounted to a child's desk next to the window.

[@MemorySeekers]

I know it is strange. I think in Jane's case she was being secretive about her writing and so if disturbed could quickly adjust her papers, I guess?

Touching to see some of the objects she loved & used in daily life as well as the examples of the writings, recipes, and costumes of the period. 🤔 I can just imagine her staring out the window and writing away on her on that quirky side table. How she could create such masterpieces with the hustle & bustle of her whole household is beyond me. 🥰I am so grateful she applied her imagination, sharp wits, and humor to perfectly capture the drama and manners of her day. 😱Too bad it was so shocking for a woman to become an author in those times. Let alone make any 💲earnings from it. The publishers (and the circumstances) surely robbed her of her full honor (inclu. proper recompense 💷 & respect) in her lifetime. ✒️What a remarkable artist.

Very interesting video. I like to tour the homes of famous writers. I'm American so I've been to the homes of Herman Melville (Pittsfield, MA), where he lived when writing Moby Dick, and Thomas Wolf (Asheville, NC), where his mother ran the boarding house he wrote about in his books. I didn't know where writers lived when I went to England. If I had known, I would have tried to check them out, particularly Austen. I've read all of her novels many times, seen many movies made from them, and so on. She is an amazing observer of human nature and she obviously had a wicked sense of humor.

I fell in love with EB & FD all over again. Both Jennifer Ehle & Colin Firth did such remarkable jobs. Wow! Now i hv actual faces instead of cardbord figures, LOL! I wish i knew i could visit Jane Auten's home when I visited GB in the early 1990s. I wd hv asked my friend to include a visit.

Quite a serene view of Jane Austin’ s home, and I wouldn’t say it’s modest for it’s time! Perhaps not grandiose but marvelous. Love the wallpaper, quilts and period clothes. The house feels much like my grandparents rural home in Kansas although this Austin home is obviously still much earlier time period (my grandmother died 20 years ago would be ~ 120 today) but the quiet environment and lack of modern features like bathrooms, central heating & AC & water added on later are are hallmarks of a distinctly different era. My grandparents had small upstairs porches for outdoor sleeping in the summer, a porch outside the first floor kitchen where the water well was handy. Enjoyed the video immensely thanks.

I love Austen . I am reading Emma at present . I really love her description of characters and the warm chatty , gossipy way of writing she had . As it she was the reader was her best friend and she just has to tell her some thing interesting . Her house was rented and quite humble . Another reason why I like her. And that cat would get more than a stroke from me. Time to give the cat a cuddle.

Thank you for this lovely visit to Jane’s house. We visited a few years ago and loved it.I would love to return one day. The picture that was supposed to be Jane was one of her nieces, but otherwise this was a well informed show.

Hello Ann thanks for the lovely comment. Yes I have only just been made aware of the mistake. So annoying as I try to make sure everything is correct. Sometimes things are right in front of you and you don’t notice it. I will put a note in the description. Thank you.

Thank you so much for making this beautiful video.

This is lovely, thank you. And, yes, I agree about the table! I'm astonished. I recognise names from the novels ... and can hear quotes from the movies.

[@MemorySeekers]

Thanks! Glad you liked it. We have 2 other videos about Jane’s life for you to enjoy too, hope you like them as well

I love Jane Austen. Pride and prejudice was a text book in my English class. My teacher just like Mrs. Bennett. All the class fell in love with this book and ever since I have been enthralled with Jane Austen. Love every bit of this video.

What a beautiful home they had! And interesting about her brother and his inheritance. Lovely video, thanks.

Thanks for watching

Thank u for this home tour. Thank u so much. The angle of the video and the duration are perfect for me, the one who never knows when I could visit Ms. Austen's house. Thank u...

[@MemorySeekers]

You are so welcome!

Excellent tour. We went about 10 years ago and your video brought back so many delightful memories. My husband took a picture of the large desk, thinking that it was Jane's. Luckily, our adult daughter who was traveling with us took the correct picture of the small writing desk, which I treasure.

[@MemorySeekers]

It is hard to believe she managed most of her writing on that desk. Pleased it brought back memories of your visit.

Hi, Pride and Prejudice is definitely a masterpiece and my favorite Book. Thank you Jane Austen.

[@joycefroney6162]

Great speaking voice . Well done , thank you.

[@MemorySeekers]

Thank you glad you liked it.

[@tamarachitarians113]

I have read many of her books, but The Pride and Prejudice was my favourite. That was one of the books we had to read at school. I miss the English countryside.

Thank you very much for taking us with you on this tour. Very much appreciate your channel. I’ve been an Austen fan since I was a kid. And this house tour gives me more insight of how wonderful it would’ve been to meet the most amazing female writer in all history.

[@MemorySeekers]

Glad you enjoyed it! Great to read your comment. It was a delight to make it and learn more about her as well.

Greetings from South Florida, USA! Such an Awesome Guided Tour of Jane Austen's home in Chawton. I am a HUGE fan of Jane Austen and very much grateful for this Virtual Tour of her home. You made us feel as if we were actually physically present during this tour so Kudos to MemorySeekers for a job well done!

[@MemorySeekers]

Thank you for watching, so pleased you enjoyed the tour and felt like you had visited in person. Exactly how we wanted it to be!

[@vivianelanthier722]

Your video is so well done. You've provided a lot of very interesting information. The filming is excellent and thank you for giving us close-ups of the family quilt and Jane's shawl. Greetings from Canada.

[@MemorySeekers]

Thank you very much for your kind comment, Viviane! Did you see our video about Jane’s life from birth to death as well? Think you may enjoy that one too. Great to hear we have a viewer in beautiful Canada - hoping we will be visit soon

[@vivianelanthier722]

@@MemorySeekers Thank you for your response. I've just subscribed to your channel and will watch the video about Jane's life. I will also watch all your other videos - many hours of excellent viewing ahead of me.

[@MemorySeekers]

That’s great to hear - thank you! Let us know which videos you like and which inspire you visit yourself. Which part of Canada are you from? We are hoping to get out to BC, Yukon and Alberta at the end of the year…. Fingers crossed!

[@vivianelanthier722]

@@MemorySeekers I live 25 miles from Ottawa, the national capital. I've worked in Ottawa most of my life and I've always been in love with that city. Hope all is well by the end of the year and you can come and visit.

[@MemorySeekers]

Fingers crossed! I know very little about Ottawa, most of my knowledge is about the far west and east coasts, but I’m sure you’re right, most places in Canada are amazing, you have a vast and great country to enjoy!

[@rubyshah5844]

Thank you, much appreciate and very well presented.JA was indeed one of the best English writers of her time. ❤️

[@MemorySeekers]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@voraciousreader3341]

This is so lovely and interesting! I’m so glad it was recommended to me! I’ll never be able to visit myself, I’m sure, and this really was as good as being there, from my point of view! Austen has provided hours and hours of enjoyment for decades now....my mother went to England when I was a university student and brought me a copy of “Persuasion” for fun, and I read it to shreds, lol!

[@MemorySeekers]

We are so glad you enjoyed the tour and finding out a bit more about Jane and her life. It was a pleasure to make.

[@doladutta-roy8937]

Enjoyed it very much. Hope to see more such beautiful videos that take us to the times of great writers

[@MemorySeekers]

Hello thank you glad you enjoyed the videos on Jane. I am sure we will feature some more in the future on other writers, inbetween our other travel guides.
