Maura Dooley was Poet-in-Residence at Jane Austen’s home in Chawton, Hampshire. The house, now a museum, is where Austen wrote most of her novels. These poems offer glimpses of Austen’s still potent presence in the modest house in which, at a tiny table, she wrote her greatest works.
Jane Austen’s House Museum is open to the public. http://www.jane-austens-house-museum.org.uk/
