(NEW YORK POST) – Jane Austen’s home is set to get a makeover after public donations and a government grant helped raise enough money to secure the renovation.
In the last eight years of her life, Austen lived in Chawton, Hampshire — a village in England about two hours from London — in the house where she thought up classics like “Sense and Sensibility,” “Pride and Prejudice,” and “Emma.”
“Nobody can be more devoted to home than I am,” Austen wrote for the character Mrs. Elton in “Emma.”
