New podcast episode! September

Join us for another episode of our popular podcast A Jane Austen Year. It is a podcast with a difference – with just one episode per month, it invites the listener to slow down and join us on a seasonal journey through Jane Austen’s novels, the story of her life and the world she lived in.

Each episode is recorded by the people who work here at Jane Austen’s House, caring for this special place and protecting it for future generations.

‘September’ is a time for holidays, sea bathing, and maybe even a seaside romance. We follow the Dashwood women as they move to Barton Cottage, and Anne Elliot as she leaves Kellynch for Uppercross. We also accompany Jane herself on a visit to London, where she stayed at her brother Henry’s house in Covent Garden and enjoyed a trip to the Lyceum and a shopping expedition to Wedgwood’s. We share a recipe for Raspberry Vinegar and congratulate Harriet Smith on her engagement to Robert Martin.

Find A Jane Austen Year wherever you get your podcasts, or listen to it here! 🎧

This series was written and recorded at Jane Austen’s House in Chawton, Hampshire, in celebration of the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birthday in 2025.
