庆祝一切，奥斯汀(Celebrating all things Austen)

简·奥斯汀出生于汉普郡史蒂文顿的一个乡村村庄，1801年至1806年间，当她二十几岁搬到这里时，她把巴斯作为自己的家。这座位于埃文河畔的温泉城给了她很多灵感——她出版的六部小说《诺桑觉寺》和《劝说》中的两部都以这里为背景，许多人物的“住所”至今仍然存在。毕竟，巴斯在当时是英国上层社会的一个热门度假胜地——奥斯汀如此机智地讽刺了那些优雅、有礼貌的社会类型。

Born in the rural village of Steventon in Hampshire, Jane Austen made Bath her home between 1801 and 1806, when she moved here in her twenties. This spa city on the River Avon gave her plenty of inspiration – two of her six published novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, are set here and many of the characters’ ‘lodgings’ still exist today. After all, Bath was a popular resort at the time for Britain's upper crust – the posh, mannered society types whom Austen satirised so wittily.
