Your guide; Hazel Jones has been an expert on Jane Austen for most of her adult life and became an addict after she fell in love with Henry Tilney at eleven years old, although she has since been unfaithful to him with Mr Darcy. She has written a book on marriage in Jane Austen’s time, Jane Austen and Marriage (Continuum, 2009). This draws on Jane Austen’s novels and letters and contemporary texts such as diaries and newspapers.
Hazel taught English at Exeter University, specializing in Jane Austen and as well as being a guide for P&P Tours she continues to organize residential courses for adults at various venues in the UK.
Hazel’s latest book is Celebrating Pride and Prejudice, 200 Years of Jane Austen’s Darling Child, written with Maggie Lane.
