Manage episode 366690258 series 2980093
What would Jane do about 'Who do you think you are?'
Today we have a very special guest, Caroline Jane Knight, descendent of Jane Austen's brother Edward. Caroline devotes much of her time to the legacy of her famous fifth great aunt, running the Jane Austen Literary Foundation and supporting Chawton House. Find out what it was like to grow up in the family's ancestral home - a Tudor mansion - what it takes to come to terms with losing that home, and the return to enjoying the family associations with Chawton. And what trait does Caroline share with Jane?
Stay tuned for our Darcy and Wickham of the week - and our Jane Austen news.
