Abstract

This paper investigates Jane Austen’s connection with her brother, Edward Austen Knight, and his contribution to Jane’s work, particularly her novel, Emma. This study explores how Edward’s wealth and status influenced Jane’s life and led her to the most productive period of her literary life. The information uncovered is used to create a new type of museum period room installation that encourages exploration of classic literature
