Jane Austen and Waterloo
July 29, 2017 - The Chairman in News & Blog Posts, Chairman's Blog
It is well known that Jane Austen shunned the subject of Waterloo and Napoleon which dominated society during the latter part of her life but a venturesome novelist has decided to write a novel entitled ” Jane and the Waterloo map”. Sounds interesting but it is probably pretty doubtful stuff.
How
ever it is quite topical as the new £10 note which bears Jane’s rather cleverly tarted up image will be on us later in the year and maybe we should read this book??
