Southampton: Jane, her mother, and her sister, as well as their friend and widow Martha Lloyd, move to Southampton to live with Jane's newly married brother Frank.
Manydown Park: Jane and Cassandra visit here in 1806 (I think this might be where her inspiration for Mansfield Park came from. They sound strikingly similar.)
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.
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: 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.
In 1621, England, Sir Henry Finch published The World's Great Restauration: orCalling of the Jews, and with them of all Nations and Kingdoms of the Earth to the Faith of Christ, a book encouraging the restoration of the Jewish state of Israel. This, in many ways, served as early inspiration and support for Zionism—the belief that the Jewish people should reclaim the “promised land” of Israel (Kobler 110). Zionism was a mindset that became increasingly popular in the 18th and 19th centuries.
