Review: "In late Georgian and Regency England established attitudes towards nature and the countryside, whether in art, literature or landscape gardening, were being challenged on many fronts. Jane Austen's heroines, brought up with well-established Georgian standards, were as susceptible in matters of 'Taste and Feeling' as anyone else and, as this book so clearly demonstrates, their responses to landscape strikingly reflect the ramifications of fashionable taste and the influence of their reading." "As a landscape historian steeped in the novels and letters of Jane Austen, Mavis Batey is the best of guides to the ideas and subtleties behind the real and fictional settings of the novels."--Jacket.
