Just as the fashions of Jane Austen’s era define it as a unique
moment in history, so do the pleasures and pastimes. Each occasion
and activity brought the pleasure of choosing a new outfit, and the
choice on offer to young men and women was, at the time,
unparalleled. Showcasing the styles and fashion of the period,
Sarah Jane Downing touches on a variety of themes including
pleasure destinations such as parks and zoos, cultural activities
such as the theatre, romantic pastimes such as dances held in
spectacular settings, and many more. We are familiar with many of
the most popular places and activities from Jane Austen’s novels,
but this book will put them into broader historical context,
complimenting them with an abundance of contemporary fashion plates
and images.
