JUST ARRIVED: Jane Austen in 41 Objects

Just Arrived: Jane Austen in 41 Objects by Kathryn Sutherland! ✨

This fascinating new take on Austen’s life explores the objects she owned, revealing personal insights into her journey from anonymity to literary icon. From Bath and Chawton to our very own Southampton, Sutherland’s study invites us to see Austen’s world through the artifacts that shaped her story.

"Each object has its own small biography or story that overlaps with hers, inviting us to make a leap of imagination and casting unexpected light on Austen at different moments in her life." – Kathryn Sutherland
