The Spirituality of Jane Austen

Jane Austen was the daughter of one clergyman and the sister of others, and attended church throughout her life. Her memorial, when she died, spoke of her deep Christian faith, but was that just cant? In this celebratory book, Paula Hollingsworth explores Jane Austen's faith - which came to the fore in her behaviour, her letters, and also her books - both in her characters and the fates she assigned to them, based on their actions.
