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.)

Jane: London

London: Jane and her brother Henry travel there to meet with publishers. This is also where Henry and his wife Eliza (Jane’s Cousin—I will explain this in my “extra things I noticed" section after my written report) live and she visits them often.

Jane: Bath

Bath: Jane visited bath a few times in her life. Before moving to Bath after her father announced his retirement in 1801, she visited her brother James and his wife in 1797, and then travels there again with her mother in 1799. However, after living at 4 Sydney places, Bath for four years, her father, George Austen, suddenly dies in 1805.

Steventon

Steventon: This is where Jane was born (at the town rectory). She grew up here and lived at her father’s home from when she was born on December 16, 1775 until he moved the family (just himself, his wife, Jane, and her sister Cassandra) to Bath in 1801. Jane was 26 when they moved.
