JANE AUSTEN AND THE NAVY

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Jane Austen and the Navy reveals Austen, both of whose brothers became admirals, as an historian of Nelson's navy. However, this is not the navy of Nelson's victorious battles but the navy at home in Britain. Based upon biographies, family records and naval documents, it carefully presents the author's illustration of seamen among their family and friends. Observed with Austen's shrewd eye for detail, it provides a unique insight into the Royal Navy against the background of the Napoleonic wars. With wonderful new color illustrations, this book has been fully revised by the author and NMMP is proud to publish in paperback for the first time.
