Jane Austen's Society

The second installment of a three-volume collection examining the life and work of English novelist Jane Austen delves into the social mores that helped shape the author's story lines, examining the Regency era of English history from 1811 to 1820. In addition, viewers learn what constituted high fashion and haute cuisine -- and what did not -- during that time, as well as the public and political topics that ruled the day.
