Jane thinks of her brothers, both sailors, out at sea. Her father keeps letters from them near the tall ship model they built as children. She hopes they are safe and healthy.
Blythe a Day – Sailor/Soldier (Becoming Jane) – 9/23/24
"Jane Austen’s maritime connections:
For nearly all of Austen’s adult life, England was at war with France and two of her brothers enjoyed naval careers during this transformative period in British maritime history.
Austen’s father, George, was a clergyman and it was traditional for younger sons of a cleric to enter the Navy. Austen was in constant correspondence with all of her family, including both naval brothers. When they were not away at sea, she paid extended visits to them and their families and, on these visits, she was introduced to their many naval acquaintances. "
