Jane Austen's Sailor Brothers - Being the Adventures of Sir Francis Austen, G.C.B., Admiral of the Fleet and Rear-Admiral... Jane Austen's Sailor Brothers - Being the Adventures of Sir Francis Austen, G.C.B., Admiral of the Fleet and Rear-Admiral Charles Austen (Paperback)

Two of Jane Austen's brothers made successful careers in the Navy: Francis (1774 1865) rose to the rank of Admiral; Charles (1779 1852) to Rear-Admiral. Jane's naval heroes, most notably Captain Wentworth in Persuasion, as well as much of her knowledge of naval life and contemporary affairs during the Napoleonic Wars, owe much to the stories and letters of her brothers. Written by Francis Austen's grandson John Hubback and his daughter Edith, this double biography is informed by family tradition as well as research into contemporary documents. The Hubbacks, with their unique insight, suggest many family anecdotes and characteristics as possible sources for Jane's novels. Beyond its interest as a record of how her brothers' naval careers influenced her work, this book, first published in 1906, also remains of great interest to historians of the Navy in the first half of the nineteenth century.
