Pride and Prejudice: Brighton

Brighton: The town of Brighton is located in Sussex. Brighton is mentioned in the novel and movie adaptation, and in Lydia’s words, “That's the place to find husbands.” Lydia is taken there by some family friends, and then runs away with the perfidious Wickham. This is a problem since women of this time are not to go anywhere unchaperoned.

Jane: Carolton House

Carolton House: Jane is invited here by the librarian of Price Regent because the Prince admires her work. He then not so subtly asks her to dedicate her next novel to him, and left with little choice, she reluctantly agrees. This next novel is Emma. (Side note: I find this interesting that they would know who to invite since she published anonymously. But perhaps since he is a Prince and all, they just asked the publisher and her told them.)
