![]() This book strolls through the sorts of gardens that Jane Austen would have known and visited: the gardens of the great estates, cottage gardens, gardens in town, and public gardens and parks. Jane Austen took a keen interest in flower gardening and kitchen gardening alike. This book seeks to explore that aspect of her work using visits to gardens she would have known and comparing it to works she’s written. So, I was delighted when we were offered a chance to review a new book about her relationship with gardens – In the Garden with Jane Austen by Kim Wilson.ĭuring Jane Austen’s time, gardens were an important social and geographical construct where a lot of romantic intrigue took place. Like any proper Anglophile, I’m interested in Jane Austen.
