What Would Jane Do?
Season 3 Ep. 6 Jane Austen and War
Recent events have brought war back to the forefront of our minds. Jane Austen lived during a period of almost constant war. It was the background to her life with a huge proportion of the population, including two of her brothers, in the armed services. What was war like in her day? Kate Macfarlane joins Julia Golding to discuss this. Kate has impressive expert knowledge thanks to her time with the 33rd Foot Regiment, a re-enactment group. This really is a must-listen if you want the nitty-gritty details explaining army life. Is it fair to say Jane didn't address the war in her novels and was out of touch with the political events of her day? Have a listen and see if you agree with our views on the subject and why Julia thinks Jane has something in common with the writer of Derry Girls. Kate gives the latest Jane Austen news.
