When Jane Austen's brother, Edward, became the heir of rich relatives, he acquired a new surname and property across five English counties. Jane Austen visited her brother at his home at Godmersham Park in Kent and spent her final years in a cottage he owned in the village of Chawton, observing Edward's approach to managing his estates and gaining a close view of the concerns and activities of wealthy landowners. Using original estate books, bank records, letters, and other archival documents, Linda Slothouber has created the most detailed biography to date of Edward Austen Knight. With Edward as an example, along with excerpts from Jane Austen's novels, this book shows how the landed gentry of fact and fiction made their money, interacted with workers and professionals, and tried to ensure the position and prosperity of their heirs. People at all levels of the estate economy are represented, with profiles of specific individuals that Jane Austen would have known during her years in Chawton. Learn what being "Lord of the Manor" and having "ten thousand a year" really meant; what stewards, bailiffs, overseers, and churchwardens did; who administered the civic affairs of the village; how attitudes toward natural resources and common property changed during Jane Austen's lifetime; and why the estate-owner, though at the top of the social order of the village, was judged according to the well-being of his humblest cottagers.

Caroline Jane Knight shares more than Jane Austen's name and DNA. As a direct descendant of Jane's brother, Edward Knight, Caroline is the last of the Austen Knight family to grow up at Chawton House on the estate where Jane Austen lived and enjoyed the most productive period of her writing career. Caroline explored the same places around Chawton House and its grounds as Jane did, dined at the same table in the same dining room, read in the same library and shared the same dream of independence. Caroline's early life was filled with the delights of living in a sixteenth-century English manor, the good cheer of family gatherings and centuries-old Christmas traditions in the Great Hall of Chawton House, the beauty of a country life, and the joys of helping her Granny bake cakes and serve Jane Austen devotees in the Chawton House tea room. But when she was seventeen, Caroline and her family were forced to leave the home her family had lived in for centuries. Heartbroken, but determined to leave all things Austen behind her, Caroline eventually carved out a highly successful career in business. This is the story of Caroline's tumultuous journey to success, her ultimate crisis, her rediscovery and embrace of her Austen heritage, and the creation of the Jane Austen Literacy Foundation.
