Jane Austen is known for the novels she wrote two hundred years ago and the more recent movie adaptations. The era of which she lived and wrote, known as the Regency period in England, paralleled the years when the Gage family lived in Battlefield House. An exploration of the era’s social customs depicted in Austen’s work brings us closer to the lives of people in Upper Canada at the time.
