Warm thanks to my publishers Andrea Keegan, Jenny Nugee, and Luciana OFlaherty for their expert guidance throughout the preparation of this book, and to OUPs peer reviewers for the wise advice they contributed in the opening and closing stages. I did much of the writing during a visiting fellowship at All Souls College, Oxford, and I thank the Warden and Fellows for their generous hospitality. My thinking has been boosted over the years by fruitful conversations with many fine scholars of Jane Austen, among them Janine Barchas, Joe Bray, Linda Bree, Ed Copeland, Jenny Davidson, Jocelyn Harris, Freya Johnston, Heather King, Devoney Looser, Deidre Lynch, Juliet McMaster, Claude Rawson, Peter Sabor, Fiona Stafford, Kathryn Sutherland, Bharat Tandon, Karen Valihora, and Cindy Wall. Im grateful to the keen undergraduates who have made it such a pleasure to teach the Austen and Her Contemporaries course at the University of Toronto, to my outstanding teaching assistants Angela Du and Veronica Litt, and to the clever, sharp-eyed students who contributed research assistance and/or road-tested draft chapters: Dana Lew, Austin Long (who also created the index), Ryan Park, Sushani Singh, Philip Trotter, and Rachael Tu. I thank Bodleian Library Publishing and Cambridge University Press for permission to include passages adapted from my contributions to K. Sutherland (ed.), Jane Austen: Writer in the World (2017), and J. Todd (ed.), The Cambridge Companion to Pride and Prejudice (2013).

There are two big draws for visitors to Chawton, the Hampshire village where Jane Austen lived and wrote during the years when, if we count the immediately posthumous works, her six major novels were first published. By far the grander of the two is Chawton House, an Elizabethan manor where the unmarried, impecunious Austen was a welcome though fairly low-status guest: not quite hapless Miss Bates when she visits the Highbury elite in Emma, but in terms of social hierarchy its not an irrelevant comparison. Chawton House was owned by Austens brother Edward Knight, a wealthy manwealthier than loaded, landed Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudicewho had been adopted as an heir by rich cousins and mainly lived at Godmersham, Kent, on an even more desirable estate. The manor is now a charitable trust first established in the 1990s by Sandy Lerner, a serial entrepreneurCisco Systems, Urban Decay Cosmeticsand Austen devotee or Janeite (a term popularized by Kiplings 1924 story about cultish novel-readers during the First World War). Media personalities and bestselling authors sometimes show up, and celebrity actors with Austen roles in their back catalogues.
Then theres the beautiful if far more modest housea very snug little cottage, as Mrs Dashwood puts it with resignation in Sense and Sensibility
