Jane Austen's Economic Status?
Posted by Amy2 on March 19, 1998 at 20:51:16:
Just read Maggie Lane's book JANE AUSTEN AND HER WORLD, which was very interesting. It made me wonder about Jane Austen's economic status: on one hand, we've been told that the Austens really weren't as wealthy as most modern readers think; on the other hand, the adoption of one of her brothers by a wealthy couple certainly must have infused some wealth into the family. Where did the Austens stand financially in the Regency scheme of things? Thanks!
