Jane Austen in 41 Objects (2025)

Kathryn Sutherland uses a notebook Austen kept as a teenager, a surviving page of unfinished fiction, and the dining-room grate at Chawton as short routes into her life. Some of the forty-one objects belong to her afterlife, including a costume from the 1995 Pride and Prejudice. The color photographs make the distinction between surviving evidence and later keepsake tangible.
