A visit to Jane Austen's home (At Home with the Georgians)

Available on DVD from all major retailers.

Prize-winning author Professor Amanda Vickery sets her sights on the golden age of homemaking -- the Georgian era.

Through dramatic reconstruction she traces the story of the unique relationship Britons enjoy with their homes, arguing that the Georgians' preoccupation with décor helped to redefine the part played by men and women in British society.
Characters from all walks of life; gentlewomen in their stately mansions, to servants with only a locking box to call their own are bought to life as Amanda reveals the artifacts, letters and diaries of the age where the modern notion of a 'home' was born

@vesperacorbin Buy an all region dvd player. You can get one for less than a 100. They are worth having. It opens up BBC to you.
