Exploring the emergence of tourist enthusiasm for Jane Austen and her novels. When did she become part of the tourist trail in Britain?
It was only in the last years of the eighteenth-century that readers started to visit sites with literary associations, spending time searching out writers' graves, their houses, and the settings for their books. It was a hundred years before it became commonplace to memorialise writers in the places that they worked by preserving and marking their homes and haunts. How did that enthusiasm feed into supporting and financing the preservation of her homes and haunts in Bath, Chawton and Winchester?
